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.

Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
1Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice!
I want to sing my praises to you, LORD!
2I 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.
3I won’t set my eyes on anything worthless.
I hate wrongdoing;
none of that will stick to me.
4A corrupt heart will be far from me.
I won’t be familiar with evil.
5I will destroy anyone
who secretly tells lies about a neighbor.
I can’t stomach anyone
who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.
6My 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.
7But the person who acts deceitfully
won’t stay in my house.
The person who tells lies
won’t last for long before me.
8Every morning I will destroy
all those who are wicked in the land
in order to eliminate all evildoers
from the LORD’s city.
