 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; * give thanks to him and call upon his Name.

For the is good; his mercy is everlasting; * and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

I will sing of mercy and justice; * to you, O, will I sing praises.

I will strive to follow a blameless course; oh, when will you come to me? * I will walk with sincerity of heart within my house.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; * I hate the doers of evil deeds; they shall not remain with me.

A crooked heart shall be far from me; * I will not know evil.

Those who in secret slander their neighbors I will destroy; * those who have a haughty look and a proud heart I cannot abide.

My eyes are upon the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me, * and only those who lead a blameless life shall be my servants.

Those who act deceitfully shall not dwell in my house, * and those who tell lies shall not continue in my sight.

I will soon destroy all the wicked in the land, * that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the.
