Psalms 101

A Psalm of David.

¹I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, Lord, I will sing praises. ²I will carefully attend to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. ³I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me. ⁴A perverse heart shall leave me; I will know no evil. ⁵Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; I will not endure one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart. ⁶¶My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; One who walks in a blameless way is one who will serve me. ⁷One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; One who speaks lies shall not maintain his position before me. ⁸Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to eliminate from the city of the Lordall those who do injustice.
