CI THE PSALMIST’S PROFESSION OF UPRIGHTNESS
A Psalm of David.
［1］ I WILL sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
［2］ I will behave〖Or, give heed unto the perfect way.〗 myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house with〖Or, in the integrity of my heart.〗 a perfect heart.
［3］ I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate the〖Or, the doing of unfaithfulness.〗 work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
［4］ A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no evil〖Or, evil person.〗 thing.
［5］ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
［6］ Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
［7］ He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
［8］ Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
