1 My song is about loyalty and justice,and I sing it to you, O Lord.
2 My conduct will be faultless.When will you come to me?I will live a pure life in my house,
3 and will never tolerate evil.I hate the actions of those who turn away from God;I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will not be dishonest,and will have no dealings with evil.
5 I will get rid of anyonewho whispers evil things about someone else;I will not tolerate anyonewho is proud and arrogant.
6 I will approve of those who are faithful to Godand will let them live in my palace.Those who are completely honestwill be allowed to serve me.
7 No liar will live in my palace;no hypocrite will remain in my presence.
8 Day after day I will destroythe wicked in our land;I will expel all who are evilfrom the city of the Lord.
