Psalm 101

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 A psalm of David: I am singing of grace and justice; I am singing to you, ADONAI.

2 I will follow the path of integrity; when will you come to me? I will run my life with a sincere heart inside my own house.

3 I will not allow before my eyes any shameful thing. I hate those who act crookedly; what they do does not attract me.

4 Deviousness will depart from me; I will not tolerate evil.

5 If someone slanders another in secret, I will cut him off. Haughty eyes and proud hearts I cannot abide.

6 I look to the faithful of the land, so that they can be my companions; those who live lives of integrity can be servants of mine.

7 No deceitful person can live in my house; no liar can be my advisor.

8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, cutting off all evildoers from the city of ADONAI.

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.
