Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

2 I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

6 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.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

7 No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

8 Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
