     I will sing of your love and justice, Lord . 
 I will praise you with songs.

    I will be careful to live a blameless life - 
 when will you come to help me? 
 I will lead a life of integrity 
 in my own home.

    I will refuse to look at 
 anything vile and vulgar. 
 I hate all who deal crookedly; 
 I will have nothing to do with them.

 and stay away from every evil.

 to be my companions. 
 Only those who are above reproach 
 will be allowed to serve me.

    I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, 
 and liars will not stay in my presence.

    My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked 
 and free the city of the Lord from their grip.
