Psalms 101

1 Of David a psalm covenant loyalty and justice I will sing to you O Yahweh I will sing praises.

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto you, O LORD, will I sing.

2 I will give attention - to a way blameless when? will you come to me I will walk about in [the] integrity of heart my in [the] midst of house my.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 Not I will set - to before eyes my a thing of worthlessness [the] doing of swerving deeds I hate not it will cling to me.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 A heart perverse it will depart from me evil not I will know.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5 ([one who] slanders *Qk) In secrecy - neighbor his him I will destroy [the] haughty of eyes and [the] wide of heart him not I will be able.

Whoso privately slanders his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that has an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6 Eyes my - [will be] on [the] faithful [people] of [the] earth to dwell with me [one who] walks in a way blameless he he will serve me.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7 Not he will dwell - in [the] midst of house my [one who] does deceit [one who] speaks lies not he will be established to before eyes my.

He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8 To the mornings I will destroy all [the] wicked [people] of [the] land to cut off from [the] city of Yahweh all [those who] do wickedness.

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
