KJVA Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music.

אַשְׂכִּ֗ילָה בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ תָּ֭מִים מָתַ֣י תָּבֹ֣א אֵלָ֑י אֶתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בְּ֝תָם לְבָבִ֗י בְּקֶ֣רֶב בֵּיתִֽי׃

KJVI will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;

לֹֽא אָשִׁ֨ית ׀ לְנֶ֥גֶד עֵינַ֗י דְּבַ֣ר בְּ֭לִיַּעַל עֲשֵֹה סֵטִ֗ים שָׂנֵ֥אתִי לֹ֣א יִדְבַּ֣ק בִּֽי׃

KJVI will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

לֵבָ֣ב עִקֵּ֣שׁ יָס֣וּר מִמֶּ֑נִּי רָ֗ע לֹ֣א אֵדָֽע׃

KJVA froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.

מְלוֹשְׁנִ֣י בַסֵּ֗תֶר רֵעֵ֗הוּ אוֹת֑וֹ אַצְמִ֗ית גְּבַה עֵינַ֥יִם וּרְחַב לֵ֗בָב אֹת֣וֹ לֹ֣א אוּכָֽל׃

KJVWhoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure.

עֵינַ֗י בְּנֶ֘אֱמְנֵי אֶ֣רֶץ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת עִמָּדִ֑י הֹלֵ֥ךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ תָּ֭מִים ה֣וּא יְשָׁרְתֵֽנִי׃

KJVMine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

לֹא יֵ֭שֵׁב בְּקֶ֣רֶב בֵּיתִ֑י עֹשֵׂ֗ה רְמִיָּ֗ה דֹּבֵ֥ר שְׁקָ֗רִים לֹ֣א יִכּ֣וֹן לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽי׃

KJVHe that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.

לַ֭בְּקָרִים אַצְמִ֣ית כָּל רִשְׁעֵי אָ֑רֶץ לְהַכְרִ֥ית מֵ֝עִ֗יר יְהוָ֥ה כָּל פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

KJVI will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.
