Psalm 101

Psalm 101 ¹ A psalm of David. I will sing about your love and fairness. LORD, I will sing praise to you.

² I will be careful to lead a life that is without blame. When will you come and help me? In my own home I will lead a life that is without blame.

³ I won’t look at anything that is evil and call it good. I hate the acts of people who aren’t faithful to you. I won’t have anything to do with those things.

⁴ I will stay away from those whose hearts are twisted. I won’t have anything to do with what is evil.

⁵ I will get rid of anyone who tells lies about their neighbor in secret. I won’t put up with anyone whose eyes and heart are proud.

⁶ I will look with favor on the faithful people in the land. They will live with me. Those whose lives are without blame will serve me.

⁷ No one who lies and cheats will live in my house. No one who tells lies will serve me. ⁸ Every morning I will get rid of all the sinful people in the land. I will remove from the city of the LORD everyone who does what is evil.
