A Psalm of David.
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
I will {Or, give heed unto the perfect way}behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house {Or, in the integrity of my heart}with a perfect heart.
I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate {Or, the doing of unfaithfulness}the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no {Or, evil person}evil thing.
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not 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 minister unto me.
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
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.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,The city of the great King.
It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness;For the throne is established by righteousness.
As we have heard, so have we seenIn the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God:God will establish it for ever. [Selah
A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment {Or, Winnoweth}Scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
A wise king winnoweth the wicked,And bringeth the threshing- wheel over them.
But {Hebrew: yesterday.}of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction.
O house of David, thus saith Jehovah, Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of {Another reading is, their.}your doings.
and there shall in no wise enter into it anything {Greek: common.}unclean, or he that {Or, doeth}maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have {Or, the authority over Compare chapter 6:8}the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the {Greek: portals.}gates into the city.
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and {Or, doeth}maketh a lie.
