1 I will sing of your love and justice, lord.I will praise you with songs.
2 I will be careful to live a blameless life—when will you come to help me?I will lead a life of integrityin my own home.
3 I will refuse to look atanything vile and vulgar.I hate all who deal crookedly;I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will reject perverse ideasand stay away from every evil.
5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.I will not endure conceit and pride.
6 I will search for faithful peopleto be my companions.Only those who are above reproachwill be allowed to serve me.
7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,and liars will not stay in my presence.
8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wickedand free the city of the lord from their grip.
