1. A psalm of David.I sing of mercy and justice;to you, Lord, I sing praise.
2. I study the way of integrity;when will you come to me?I act with integrity of heartwithin my household.
3. I do not allow into my presence anything base.I hate wrongdoing;I will have no part of it.
4. May the devious heart keep far from me;the wicked I will not acknowledge.
5. Whoever slanders a neighbor in secretI will reduce to silence.Haughty eyes and arrogant heartsI cannot endure.
6. I look to the faithful of the landto sit at my side.Whoever follows the way of integrityis the one to enter my service.
