Psalm 101

 

Of David.  A psalm.

 

 

1                    I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.

 

2                    I will be careful to lead a blameless life—when will you come to me?  I will walk in my house with blameless heart.

 

3                    I will set before my eyes no vile thing.  The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.

 

4                    Men of perverse heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.

 

5                    Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.

 

6                    My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

 

7                    No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

 

8                    Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
