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.

Psalm 101
101
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 neighbour,
Him will I cut off:
Him that hath an 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.
