Psalms 101

1 <A Psalm. Of David.> I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.

1 I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise.

2 I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.

3 I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

3 I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

4 The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.

4 The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

5 I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

5 Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.

6 My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

7 The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.

7 No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

8 Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.

8 Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
