Psalm 101
101
I Will Walk with Integrity
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of #[Ex. 34:7]steadfast love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will make music.
2I will #[Ps. 4:4] ponder the way #Ps. 119:1; Prov. 11:20; [Matt. 5:48] that is blameless.
Oh when will you #[Ex. 20:24; John 14:23] come to me?
I will #1 Kgs. 9:4 walk with #Ps. 78:72integrity of heart
within my house;
3I will not set before my eyes
anything #Deut. 15:9 that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who #See Ps. 40:4fall away;
it shall not cling to me.
4 #
Prov. 11:20; 17:20 A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will #[1 Cor. 5:11]know nothing of evil.
5Whoever slanders his neighbor #Ps. 15:3 secretly
I will #ver. 8 destroy.
Whoever has a #Ps. 18:27; 131:1; Prov. 6:17; 21:4; 30:13 haughty look and an #Prov. 16:5arrogant heart
I will not endure.
6I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in #Ps. 119:1; Prov. 11:20; [Matt. 5:48]the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.
7No one who #Ps. 52:2 practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall #Ps. 102:28continue before my eyes.
8 # [Ps. 73:14] Morning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
#
Ps. 75:10 cutting off all #Ps. 94:4 the evildoers
from #Ps. 48:1, 8; [Isa. 52:1]the city of the Lord.

Psalms 101
101
PSALM 101.
1The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
3Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
4For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
5I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
6Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
7I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
8I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
9All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
10For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
11Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
12My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
13But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
14Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
15For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
16And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
17For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
18He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
19Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
20Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
21That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
22That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
23When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
24He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
25Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
26In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: end the heavens are the works of thy hands.
27They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
28But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
29The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
