Aurelia, 76.76.D. [G]
| 1. |
1 Of mercy and of justice,
O LORD, I'll sing to Thee.
2 In uprightness and wisdom
Shall my behavior be.
O when in lovingkindness
Wilt Thou to me come near?
I'll walk within my dwelling
With heart and life sincere.
|
| 2. |
3 I will permit no base thing
Before my eyes to be.
I hate unfaithful doing;
It shall not cleave to me.
4 The man whose heart is froward
Shall from my presence go;
And nothing that is evil
Will I consent to know.
|
| 3. |
5 I'll cut him off that slanders
His neighbor secretly;
I'll not endure the proud heart
Nor eyes that haughty be.
6 My eyes are with the faithful
That he may dwell with me;
The man whose walk is upright
My minister shall be.
|
| 4. |
7 No man of works deceitful
Within my house shall dwell;
Nor in my sight shall tarry
A man who lies will tell.
8 Each morning with destruction
The wicked I'll reward,
To free from evil-doer
The city of the LORD.
