1 I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
2 I will [127]behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house [128]with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate [129]the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no [130]evil 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. Psalm 102 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is [131]overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
