Psalm 101
The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2I will carefully attend to the blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4A perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
I won’t endure one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a blameless way is one who will serve me.
7One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies shall not maintain his position before me.
8Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to eliminate from the city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
