Dual Panel1I WILL sing of mercy {and} loving-kindness and justice; to You, O Lord, will I sing.
2I will behave myself wisely {and} give heed to the blameless way--O when will You come to me? I will walk within my house in integrity {and} with a blameless heart.
3I will set no base {or} wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of them who turn aside [from the right path]; it shall not grasp hold of me.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil person {or} thing.
5Whoso privily slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off [from me]; he who has a haughty look and a proud {and} arrogant heart I cannot {and} I will not tolerate.
6My eyes shall [look with favor] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks blamelessly, he shall minister to me.
7He who works deceit shall not dwell in my house; he who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.
8Morning after morning I will root up all the wicked in the land, that I may eliminate all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
