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 to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

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.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

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 have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

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

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

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

Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

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 [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

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

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

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!

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
