Psalms 101

1 A Psalm by David. I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, To You, O YHWH, I sing praise.

2 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.

I act wisely in a perfect way, When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, I have hated the work of those turning aside, It does not adhere to me.

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

A perverse heart turns aside from me, I do not know wickedness.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, Him I do not endure.

6 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.

My eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoever is walking in a perfect way, he serves me.

7 He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

He who is working deceit does not dwell in my house, Whoever is speaking lies is not established before my eyes.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of YHWH All the workers of iniquity!
