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 covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, 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 walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

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 wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.

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

Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to 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 destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

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.

I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may 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.

Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome 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 from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.
