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 by David.)
A King and His Promises
1I will sing to you, Lord!
I will celebrate your kindness
and your justice.
2Please help me learn
to do the right thing,
and I will be honest and fair
in my own kingdom.
3I refuse to be corrupt
or to take part
in anything crooked,
4and I won't be dishonest
or deceitful.
5Anyone who spreads gossip
will be silenced;
no one who is conceited
will be my friend.
6I will find trustworthy people
to serve as my advisors;
only an honest person
will serve as an official.
7No one who cheats or lies
will have a position
in my royal court.
8Each morning I will silence
any lawbreakers I find
in the countryside
or in the city of the Lord.
