A whole heart

I'll sing about mercy and judgment. I'll sing to you, Lord. I'll behave wisely in a perfect way. When will you come to me? I'll walk within my house with a perfect heart. I won't set anything worthless before my eyes. I hate the work of those who turn aside. It won't stick to me. A twisted heart will depart from me; I will not know a wicked person. Whoever slanders his neighbour in secret, I'll cut him off. I won't put up with the one with high looks and a proud heart. My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, so they may live with me. The one who walks in a perfect way will serve me. The one who works deceit won't live inside my house. The one who tells lies won't stay before my eyes. Every morning I'll destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.

I'll sing about faithful love and judgment. I'll sing to you, Lord. I'll act wisely in a whole way. When will you come to me? I'll walk inside my house with a whole heart. I won't set anything worthless in front of my eyes. I hate the work of the ones who turn aside. It won't stick to me. A twisted heart will go away from me. I won't know anything wicked. Whoever slanders his neighbour in secret, I'll cut him off. I won't put up with the one with high looks and a proud heart. My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, so they can live with me. The one who walks in a whole way will serve me. The one who works cheating won't live inside my house. The one who tells lies won't stay in front of my eyes. Every morning I'll finish off all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of wrong from the town of the Lord.

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 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 serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
