¹大卫的诗。我要歌唱慈爱和公正；耶和华啊！我要向你歌颂。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）

¹I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

²我要小心谨慎行正直的路；你什么时候才到我这里来呢？我要在我的家中，以正直的心行事。

²I 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.

³邪恶的事，我都不摆在眼前；离开正路的人所作的事，我都恨恶，决不容这些沾染我。

³I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

⁴狡诈的心思，我要远离；邪恶的事，我不参与。

⁴A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

⁵暗中诽谤邻舍的，我必把他灭绝；眼目高傲，心里骄横的，我必不容忍他。

⁵Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

⁶我的眼目必看顾国中的诚实人，使他们与我同住；行为正直的，必要侍候我。

⁶Mine 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.

⁷行诡诈的，必不得住在我的家里；说谎话的，必不能在我眼前坚立。

⁷He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

⁸我每日早晨必灭绝国中所有的恶人，好把所有作孽的人都从耶和华的城里剪除。

⁸I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
