​ ¹I will sing of loyalty and of justice;
 to you, O LORD, I will sing.
 ²I will study the way that is blameless.
 When shall I attain it?
 I will walk with integrity of heart
 within my house;
 ³I will not set before my eyes
 anything that is base.
 I hate the work of those who fall away;
 it shall not cling to me.
 ⁴Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;
 I will know nothing of evil.
 ⁵One who secretly slanders a neighbor
 I will destroy.
 A haughty look and an arrogant heart
 I will not tolerate.
 ⁶I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
 so that they may live with me;
 whoever walks in the way that is blameless
 shall minister to me.
 ⁷No one who practices deceit
 shall remain in my house;
 no one who utters lies
 shall continue in my presence.
 ⁸Morning by morning I will destroy
 all the wicked in the land,
 cutting off all evildoers
 from the city of the LORD.
