< Psalms 101 >

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.
A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.
2 I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
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.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.
I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.
The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.
5 Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.
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.
6 Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.
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.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
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.
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 the LORD.
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.
