Psalm 101

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

1 My song is about loyalty and justice, and I sing it to you, O Lord.

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 My conduct will be faultless. When will you come to me? I will live a pure life in my house

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

4 I will not be dishonest and will have no dealings with 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 I will get rid of anyone who whispers evil things about someone else; I will not tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

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

7 No liar will live in my palace; no hypocrite will remain 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 Day after day I will destroy the wicked in our land; I will expel all who are evil from the city of the Lord.
