Psalms 101

Psalm 101

The Psalmist's Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

1I will sing of lovingkindness and justice,

To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2I will give heed 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 fasten its grip on me.

4A perverse heart shall depart from me;

I will know no evil.

5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;

No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;

He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.

7He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;

He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.

8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land,

So as to cut off from the city of the Lord all those who do iniquity.
