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.

Psalm 101
101
A Psalm of David.
1 I WILL sing of mercy and loving-kindness and justice; to You, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely and give heed to the blameless way–O when will You come to me? I will walk within my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.
3 I will set no base or wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of them who turn aside [from the right path]; it shall not grasp hold of me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil person or thing.
5 Whoso privily slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off [from me]; he who has a haughty look and a proud and arrogant heart I cannot and I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes shall [look with favor] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks blamelessly, he shall minister to me.
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell in my house; he who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.
8 Morning after morning I will root up all the wicked in the land, that I may eliminate all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
