A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing, 2And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house. 3I will not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities. 4The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know. 5The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.
