The words
I’ll praise your love and justice, LORD; I’ll praise you cheerfully. I’ll strive to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me?
Within my home the life I lead will show a blameless heart. My eyes will view no worthless thing; from sin I will depart.
I hate what faithless people do; it shall not cling to me. All wicked people I’ll avoid; from evil I’ll stay free.
I’ll put to silence everyone who slanders secretly; I will not tolerate the proud who act so haughtily.
My eyes are on the faithful ones, that they may dwell with me; Whoever lives a blameless life will serve me constantly.
No one who practises deceit will dwell within my home; Nor will the one whose words are false before me ever come.
Each morning I will silence all who wicked deeds have done; I’ll cleanse the city of the LORD of every evil one.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
