Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2 I will ponder the way that is blameless—when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

7 No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

8 Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.

1 ¶ A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

1 A psalm of David. Of grace and judgment will I sing, and praise thee, O LORD.

2 I will deal carefully and truly with them that are mine, and walk faithfully in my house.

3 I take no evil thing for myself. I hate the transgressor and will not let him stay with me.

4 A wicked heart must depart from me: I will not suffer the wicked.

5 He that slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy. I do not like him who is proud and bold.

6 Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: and I delight to have godly servants.

7 I will not keep men in my house: liars do not prosper with me.

8 Early will I destroy all the wicked of the land, and cut off all the transgressors from the city of the LORD.
