I wish to train myself to follow the perfect way, but you, will you come to me?
① 1I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
2I will walk the way of integrity – O Lord, when will you come to me? With a blameless heart I will walk within my house.
3I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the deeds of faithless people; I will have no part in them.
4I will banish all wicked hearts, and evil I will not know.
5He who deals with others treacherously, I will silence. He who talks and acts arrogantly, I will not endure.
6I will choose from the faithful of the land those who may dwell with me; only the upright shall be my servant.
7No double-dealer shall live in my house; no one who utters falsehood shall stand before my eyes.
8Each morning I will clear the land and silence all the wicked; I will uproot all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
- In beginning his daily work, the believer sets out to live according to the truth, to struggle for justice, while hoping for the coming of the Lord.
