Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

A Psalm. Of David. I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.

2 And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

3 I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

4 The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.

5 The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

6 My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.

7 He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.

8 In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.
