< 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 sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.
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 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 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 set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.
4 A heart perverse it will depart from me evil not I will know.
A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine 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 destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
