I will not set before my eyes

Whoever slanders his neighbor (E)secretly
    I will (F)destroy.
Whoever has a (G)haughty look and an (H)arrogant heart

    shall minister to me.

No one who (J)practices deceit
    shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
    shall (K)continue before my eyes.

    all the wicked in the land,
(M)cutting off all (N)the evildoers
    from (O)the city of the Lord.
