Psalm 101
101
A Pledge to Live Righteously
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of mercy and judgment:
unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
O when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside;
it shall not cleave to me.
4A froward heart shall depart from me:
I will not know a wicked person.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off:
him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I 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 serve me.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;
that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

so that they may live with me.
The person who lives with integrity will serve me.

to rid the Lord’s city of all troublemakers.
