Psalms 101

1 My song is about loyalty and justice, and I sing it to you, O Lord.
2 My conduct will be faultless. When will you come to me? I will live a pure life in my house
3 and will never tolerate evil. I hate the actions of those who turn away from God; I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will not be dishonest and will have no dealings with evil.
5 I will get rid of anyone who whispers evil things about someone else; I will not tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.
6 I will approve of those who are faithful to God and will let them live in my palace. Those who are completely honest will be allowed to serve me.
7 No liar will live in my palace; no hypocrite will remain in my presence.
8 Day after day I will destroy the wicked in our land; I will expel all who are evil from the city of the Lord.
