Psalms 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I 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 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.

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 mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto 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.

Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

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

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.

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

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine 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 will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
