Psalms 101

1 Of David a psalm covenant loyalty and justice I will sing to you O Yahweh I will sing praises.

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

2 I will give attention - to a way blameless when? will you come to me I will walk about in [the] integrity of heart my in [the] midst of house my.

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 Not I will set - to before eyes my a thing of worthlessness [the] doing of swerving deeds I hate not it will cling to me.

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 A heart perverse it will depart from me evil not I will know.

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

5 ([one who] slanders *Q(k)*) In secrecy - neighbor his him I will destroy [the] haughty of eyes and [the] wide of heart him not I will be able.

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 Eyes my - [will be] on [the] faithful [people] of [the] earth to dwell with me [one who] walks in a way blameless he he will serve 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 Not he will dwell - in [the] midst of house my [one who] does deceit [one who] speaks lies not he will be established to before eyes my.

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

8 To the mornings I will destroy all [the] wicked [people] of [the] land to cut off from [the] city of Yahweh all [those who] do wickedness.

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.
