Psalms 101

Psalm 101
A psalm by David.
1I will sing about mercy and justice.
O Lord, I will make music to praise you.
2I want to understand the path to integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will live in my own home with integrity.
3I will not put anything wicked in front of my eyes.
I hate what unfaithful people do.
I want no part of it.
4I will keep far away from devious minds.
I will have nothing to do with evil.
5I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor.
I will not tolerate anyone with a conceited look or arrogant heart.
6My eyes will be watching the faithful people in the land
so that they may live with me.
The person who lives with integrity will serve me.
7The one who does deceitful things will not stay in my home.
The one who tells lies will not remain in my presence.
8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land
to rid the Lord’s city of all troublemakers.

Psalms 101
101
A psalm of David.
1I will sing of your love and justice, Lord.
I will praise you with songs.
2I will be careful to live a blameless life—
when will you come to help me?
I will lead a life of integrity
in my own home.
3I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil.
5I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.
I will not endure conceit and pride.
6I will search for faithful people
to be my companions.
Only those who are above reproach
will be allowed to serve me.
7I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,
and liars will not stay in my presence.
8My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked
and free the city of the Lord from their grip.
