Psalms 101
The Psalmist's Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
1 I will (a)sing of lovingkindness and [a]justice,
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will [b](b)give heed to the [c]blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the [d](c)integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no (d)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the [e]work of those who (e)fall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.
4 A (f)perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly (g)slanders his neighbor, him I will [f]destroy;
No one who has a (h)haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [g](i)blameless way is the one who will minister to me.
7 He who (j)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who speaks falsehood (k)shall not [h]maintain his position before me.
8 (l)Every morning I will [i](m)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (n)cut off from the (o)city of the Lord all those who do iniquity.
