1I will 1singH2167 of lovingkindnessH2617 and 2justiceH4941, To You, O LordH3068, I will singH2167 praisesH2167.2I will 34giveH7919 heedH7919 to the 5blamelessH8549 wayH1870. WhenH4970 will You comeH935 to me? I will walkH1980 withinH7130 my houseH1004 in the 67integrityH8537 of my heartH3824.3I will setH7896 noH3808 8worthlessH1100 thingH1697 beforeH5048 my eyesH5869; I hateH8130 the 9workH6213 of thoseH7846 whoH7846 10fallH7846 awayH7846; It shall not fastenH1692 its gripH1692 on me.4A 11perverseH6141 heartH3824 shall departH5493 from me; I will knowH3045 noH3808 evilH7451.5Whoever secretlyH5643 12slandersH3960 his neighborH7453, him I will 13destroyH6789; NoH3808 one who has a 14haughtyH1364 lookH5869 and an arrogantH7342 heartH3824 will I endureH3201.

6My eyesH5869 shall be upon the faithfulH539 of the landH776, that they may dwellH3427 with me; He who walksH1980 in a 1516blamelessH8549 wayH1870 is the oneH1931 who will ministerH8334 to me.7He who 17practicesH6213 deceitH7423 shall not dwellH3427 withinH7130 my houseH1004; He who speaksH1696 falsehoodH8267 18shall not 19maintainH3559 his positionH3559 beforeH5048 me.820Every morningH1242 I will 2122destroyH6789 allH3605 the wickedH7563 of the landH776, So as to 23cutH3772 offH3772 from the 24cityH5892 of the LordH3068 allH3605 those who doH6466 iniquityH205.
