Psalm 101

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

I will sing of your love^a and justice;

to you, Lord, I will sing praise.

I will be careful to lead a blameless life^b—

when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs^c of my house

with a blameless heart.

I will not look with approval

on anything that is vile.^d

I hate what faithless people do;^e

I will have no part in it.

The perverse of heart^f shall be far from me;

I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor^g in secret,

I will put to silence;

whoever has haughty eyes^h and a proud heart,

I will not endure.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,

that they may dwell with me;

those whose walk is blamelessⁱ

will minister to me.

No one who practices deceit

will dwell in my house;

no one who speaks falsely

will stand in my presence.

Every morning^j I will put to silence

all the wicked^k in the land;

I will cut off every evildoer^l

from the city of the Lord.^m
