Psalms 101
1 Yahweh, I will sing to you! I will sing about [your] faithfully loving [us] (OR, my being loyal to you and acting justly/fairly [toward people]).
A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.
2 [I promise that] while I rule people [MTY], I will behave in such a way that no one will be able to criticize me. Yahweh, (when will you come to [help] me?/I need you to come to [help] me.) [RHQ] I will do things that are right.
I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.
3 I will not allow stay away from those who do what is evil [SYN]. I hate the deeds of those who ([turn away from/sin against]) you; I will (completely avoid those people/not allow those people to come near me).
I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.
4 I will not be dishonest, and I will not have anything to do with evil (OR, evil people).
A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.
5 I will get rid of anyone who secretly slanders someone else, and I will not (tolerate/allow to be near me) anyone who is proud and arrogant [DOU].
Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
6 I will approve of [IDM] people in this land who (are loyal to/faithfully [obey]) [God], and I will allow them to (live with/work for) me. I will allow those who behave in such a way that no one can criticize them to (serve me/be my officials).
Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.
7 I will not allow anyone who deceives others to work in my palace; no one who tells lies will be allowed to continually come to [work for] me.
He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.
8 Every day I will [try to] get rid of all the wicked people in this land; I will [do that by] expelling them from [this] city, which is Yahweh’s city.
At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
