1A Psalm of David My song shall be of mercy and judgment, yea unto thee (O LORD) will I sing.
2Oh let me have understanding in the ways of Godliness, until the time that thou come unto me: and so shall I walk in my house with an innocent heart.
3I will take no wicked thing in hand, I hate the sin of unfaithfulness, it shall not cleave unto me.
4A froward heart shall depart from me I will not know a wicked person.
5Who so privily slandereth(sclaundereth) his neighbour, him will I destroy: who so hath a proud look and an high(hye) stomach, I may not away with him.
6Mine eyes shall look for such as be faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me: and who so leadeth a godly life, shall be my servant.
7There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house, he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8I shall soon destroy all the ungodly of the land, that all wicked doers may be rooted out of the city of the LORD.
