I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city. A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before Yahweh.
