¹A psalm of David. I will sing about loyalty and justice. To you, O Lord, I will sing praises. ²I will walkin the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace. ³I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. I hate doing evil; I will have no part of it.⁴I will have nothing to do with a perverse person; I will not permit evil. ⁵I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret. I will not tolerate anyone who has a haughty demeanor and an arrogant attitude. ⁶I will favor the honest people of the land and allow them to live with me. Those who walk in the way of integrity will attend me. ⁷Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence. ⁸Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
