Psalm 101

Common English Bible CEB

1 Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice! I want to sing my praises to you, LORD!

2 I want to study the way of integrity— how long before it gets here? I will walk with a heart of integrity in my own house.

3 I won't set my eyes on anything worthless. I hate wrongdoing; none of that will stick to me.

4 A corrupt heart will be far from me. I won't be familiar with evil.

5 I will destroy anyone who secretly tells lies about a neighbor. I can't stomach anyone who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.

6 My eyes focus on those who are faithful in the land, to have them close to me. The person who walks without blame will work for me.

7 But the person who acts deceitfully won't stay in my house. The person who tells lies won't last for long before me.

8 Every morning I will destroy all those who are wicked in the land in order to eliminate all evildoers from the LORD's city.

The Message Bible MSG

1 My theme song is God's love and justice, and I'm singing it right to you, God.

2 I'm finding my way down the road of right living, but how long before you show up? I'm doing the very best I can, and I'm doing it at home, where it counts.

3 I refuse to take a second look at corrupting people and degrading things. I reject made-in-Canaan gods, stay clear of contamination.

4 The crooked in heart keep their distance; I refuse to shake hands with those who plan evil.

5 I put a gag on the gossip who bad-mouths his neighbor; I can't stand arrogance.

6 But I have my eye on salt-of-the-earth people - they're the ones I want working with me; Men and women on the straight and narrow - these are the ones I want at my side.

7 But no one who traffics in lies gets a job with me; I have no patience with liars. I've rounded up all the wicked like cattle and herded them right out of the country.

8 I purged God's city of all who make a business of evil. A prayer of one whose life is falling to pieces, and who lets God know just how bad it is.
