I will walk with integrity of heart
    within my house;
³ I will not set before my eyes
    anything that is base.

I hate the work of those who fall away;
    it shall not cling to me.
⁴ Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;
    I will know nothing of evil.

⁵ One who secretly slanders a neighbour
    I will destroy.
A haughty look and an arrogant heart
    I will not tolerate.

⁶ I will look with favour on the faithful in the land,
    so that they may live with me;
whoever walks in the way that is blameless
    shall minister to me.

⁷ No one who practises deceit
    shall remain in my house;
no one who utters lies
    shall continue in my presence.

⁸ Morning by morning I will destroy
    all the wicked in the land,
cutting off all evildoers
    from the city of the Lord.
