Psalms 101

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, To You, O YHWH, I sing praise.

I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To thee, O Jehovah, I will sing praises.

2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, I have hated the work of those turning aside, It does not adhere to me.

I will set no base thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who turn aside. It shall not cleave to me.

4 A perverse heart turns aside from me, I do not know wickedness.

A perverse heart shall depart from me. I will know no evil thing.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, Him I do not endure.

He who slanders his neighbor secretly, him I will destroy. He who has a high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

6 My eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoever is walking in a perfect way, he serves me.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he shall minister to me.

7 He who is working deceit does not dwell in my house, Whoever is speaking lies is not established before my eyes.

He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood shall not be established before my eyes.

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

Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
