< Psalms 101 >

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.
A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.
8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
