1I will sing of your love and justice, LORD.I will praise you with songs.

2I 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.

3I will refuse to look atanything vile and vulgar.I hate all who deal crookedly;I will have nothing to do with them.

4I will reject perverse ideasand stay away from every evil.

5I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.I will not endure conceit and pride.

6I will search for faithful peopleto be my companions.Only those who are above reproachwill be allowed to serve me.

7I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,and liars will not stay in my presence.

8My daily task will be to ferret out the wickedand free the city of the LORD from their grip.
