Psalm 101

A Psalm by David.

101 I will sing of loving kindness and justice.

    To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

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.

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes.

    I hate the deeds of faithless men.

    They will not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart will be far from me.

    I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.

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

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.

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

    He who speaks falsehood won’t be 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 Yahweh’s city.
