1 I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice;

to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

2 I will walk in the way of integrity.

Oh, when will you come to me?

I will walk with integrity within my house.

3 I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes;

I hate worthless evil;

it will not cling to me.

4 Perverse people will leave me;

I am not loyal to evil.

5 I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.

I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

6 I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side.

Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.

7 Deceitful people will not remain within my house;

liars will not be welcome before my eyes.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land;

I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.
