Psalms 101

Of David. A psalm.

1I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praise.

2I will give attention to the blameless way—when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house.

3I will not set any worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who turn aside; it will not cling to me.

4A crooked heart will be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.

5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, him I cannot endure.

6My eyes are on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; whoever walks in a blameless way will serve me.

7One who practices deceit will not dwell within my house; one who speaks lies will not stand before my eyes.

8Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, cutting off from the city of Yahweh all who practice wickedness.
