Psalms 101

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

[A Psalm by David.] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, YHWH, I will 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 be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless 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 vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

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

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

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 silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

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 the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve 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 who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established 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, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all evildoers from YHWH's city.
