Psalms 101

1 A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

2 I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

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

4 Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.

5 I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

6 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 Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome before my eyes.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.
