Psalms 101

1 A Psalm by David. I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

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.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

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.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 He who practices deceit will not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood will not be established before my eyes.

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
