Psalm 101

A Psalm by David.

Verse 1I will sing of loving kindness and justice.

To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

Verse 2I will be careful to live a blameless life.

When will you come to me?

I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

Verse 3I will set no vile thing before my eyes.

I hate the deeds of faithless men.

They will not cling to me.

Verse 4A perverse heart will be far from me.

I will have nothing to do with evil.

Verse 5I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.

I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

Verse 6My 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.

Verse 7He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house.

He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

Verse 8Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land,

to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
