1 I mercy will and judgment sing,Lord, I will sing to thee.
2 With wisdom in a perfect wayshall my behaviour be.O when, in kindness unto me,wilt thou be pleas'd to come?I with a perfect heart will walkwithin my house at home.
3 I will endure no wicked thingbefore mine eyes to be:I hate their work that turn aside,it shall not cleave to me.
4 A stubborn and a froward heartdepart quite from me shall;A person giv'n to wickednessI will not know at all.
5 I'll cut him off that slanderethhis neighbour privily:The haughty heart I will not bear,nor him that looketh high.
6 Upon the faithful of the landmine eyes shall be, that theyMay dwell with me: he shall me servethat walks in perfect way.
7 Who of deceit a worker isin my house shall not dwell;And in my presence shall he notremain that lies doth tell.
8 Yea, all the wicked of the landearly destroy will I;All from God's city to cut offthat work iniquity.
