Psalms 101
101
A Promise to Rule Well
A psalm of David.
1I will sing of your love and fairness;
Lord, I will sing praises to you.
2I will be careful to live an innocent life.
When will you come to me?
I will live an innocent life in my house.
3I will not look at anything wicked.
I hate those who turn against you;
they will not be found near me.
4Let those who want to do wrong stay away from me;
I will have nothing to do with evil.
5If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor,
I will stop him.
I will not allow people
to be proud and look down on others.
6I will look for trustworthy people
so I can live with them in the land.
Only those who live innocent lives
will be my servants.
7No one who is dishonest will live in my house;
no liars will stay around me.
8Every morning I will destroy the wicked in the land.
I will rid the Lord’s city of people who do evil.

Psalms 101
101
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no evil thing.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
