My song shall be of | mercy• and judgment;

* unto thee, O | LORD, will I sing.

2 O let me have | understanding

* in | — the way of godliness!

3 When wilt thou come | unto me?

* I will walk in my house | with a perfect heart.

4 I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins | of unfaithfulness;

* there shall no such | cleave unto me.

5 A froward heart shall de- | -part from me;

* I will not | know a wicked person.

6 Whoso privily slander- | -eth his neighbour,

* him | — will I destroy.

7 Whoso hath also a haughty look and a | proud heart,

* I | will not suffer him.

8 Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful | in the land,

* that | they may dwell with me.

9 Whoso leadeth a | godly life,

* he | — shall be my servant.

10 There shall no deceitful person dwell | in my house;

* he that telleth lies shall not | tarry in my sight.

11 I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are | in the land;

* that I may root out all wicked doers from the | city of the LORD.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
