Psalms 101
101
A Promise to Rule Well
A song of David.
1I will sing of 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.
