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.

Psalm 101
101
1 The prayer of the pauper, when he was anxious, and so he poured out his petition in the sight of the Lord.
2 O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you.
3 Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly.
4 For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood.
5 I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.
6 Before the voice of my groaning, my bone has adhered to my flesh.
7 I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house.
8 I have kept vigil, and I have become like a solitary sparrow on a roof.
9 All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore oaths against me.
10 For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink.
11 By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down.
12 My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay.
13 But you, O Lord, endure for eternity, and your memorial is from generation to generation.
14 You will rise up and take pity on Zion, for it is time for its mercy, for the time has come.
15 For its stones have pleased your servants, and they will take pity on its land.
16 And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.
17 For the Lord has built up Zion, and he will be seen in his glory.
18 He has noticed of the prayer of the humble, and he has not despised their petition.
19 Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.
20 For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth.
21 So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.
22 So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:
23 while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.
24 He responded to him in the way of his virtue: Declare to me the brevity of my days.
25 Do not call me back in the middle of my days: your years are from generation to generation.
26 In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
27 They will perish, but you remain. And all will grow old like a garment. And, like a blanket, you will change them, and they will be changed.
28 Yet you are ever yourself, and your years will not decline.
29 The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.
