Psalms 101
101
A song of David.
1I will sing about love and justice.
Lord, I will sing to you.
2I will be careful to live a pure life.
I will live in my house with complete honesty.
When will you come to me?
3I will not even look at anything shameful.#101:3 anything shameful Or “an idol.”
I hate all wrongdoing.
I want no part of it!
4I will not be involved in anything dishonest.
I will have nothing to do with evil.
5I will stop anyone who secretly
says bad things about a neighbor.
I will not allow people to be proud
and think they are better than others.
6I will look throughout the land for those who can be trusted.
Only such people can live with me.
Only those who live pure lives can be my servants.
7I will never let a dishonest person live in my house.
I will not let liars stay near me.
8My goal each day will be to destroy the wicked living in our land.
I will force all who do evil to leave the city of the Lord.

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.
