Psalms 101
101
A psalm of David.
1I will sing of your love and justice, Lord.
I will praise you with songs.
2I will be careful to live a blameless life—
when will you come to help me?
I will lead a life of integrity
in my own home.
3I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil.
5I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.
I will not endure conceit and pride.
6I will search for faithful people
to be my companions.
Only those who are above reproach
will be allowed to serve me.
7I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,
and liars will not stay in my presence.
8My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked
and free the city of the Lord from their grip.

Tehillim (Psalms) 101
101
1I sing of loving-commitment and right-ruling; To You, O יהוה, I sing praises.
2I act wisely in a perfect way. When do You come to me? I walk in the midst of my house with a perfect heart.
3I set no matter of Beliya‛al before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It does not cleave to me.
4A perverse heart turns away from me; I do not know evil.
5Him who secretly slanders his neighbour I cut off; I do not tolerate one Who has a haughty look and a proud heart.
6My eyes are on the trustworthy of the land, To dwell with me; He who walks in a perfect way, He serves me.
7He who practises deceit Does not dwell in my house; He who speaks lies Does not stand in my presence.
8Each morning I uproot all the wrong of the land, To cut off all the workers of wickedness From the city of יהוה.
