1I will sing of loyalty and of justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing.
2I will study the way that is blameless. When shall I attain it? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
3I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
4Perverseness of heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.
5One who secretly slanders a neighbor I will destroy. A haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not tolerate.
6I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, so that they may live with me; whoever walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.
7No one who practices deceit shall remain in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue in my presence.
8Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all evildoers from the city of the Lord.

13For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you.
14He grants peace within your borders; he fills you with the finest of wheat.
15He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
16He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes.
17He hurls down hail like crumbs who can stand before his cold?
18He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow.
19He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel.
20He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his ordinances. Praise the Lord!
