About this psalm
A king setting the rules for his own household before anyone else’s. I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes. It is a list of who will and will not be allowed near — no slanderer, no proud heart, no worker of deceit — and every line of it begins at home.
Read it when you are deciding what you will allow in your own house.
One verse at a time, slowly
1I will sing of mercy and judgment:unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.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.3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:I hate the work of them that turn aside;it shall not cleave to me.4A froward heart shall depart from me:I will not know a wicked person.5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.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.7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
