Psalm 101

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

¹I will sing of your love^s and justice;

to you, Lord, I will sing praise.

²I will be careful to lead a blameless life^t—

when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs^u of my house

with a blameless heart.

³I will not look with approval

on anything that is vile.^v

I hate what faithless people do;^w

I will have no part in it.

⁴The perverse of heart^x shall be far from me;

I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

⁵Whoever slanders their neighbor^y in secret,

I will put to silence;

whoever has haughty eyes^z and a proud heart,

I will not tolerate.

⁶My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,

that they may dwell with me;

the one whose walk is blameless^a

will minister to me.

⁷No one who practices deceit

will dwell in my house;

no one who speaks falsely

will stand in my presence.

⁸Every morning^b I will put to silence

all the wicked^c in the land;

I will cut off every evildoer^d

from the city of the Lord.^e
