  • A ruler acting with integrity

    • ‘I will not tolerate haughtiness’ (5)

    • “I will look to the faithful ones” (6)

Of David. A melody. 101  I will sing about loyal love and justice. To you, O Jehovah, I will sing praises.*  2  I will act with discretion and blamelessness.* When will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart+ inside my house.  3  I will not set anything worthless* before my eyes. I hate the deeds of those who deviate from what is right;+I will have nothing to do with them.*  4  A crooked heart is far from me;I will not accept* what is bad.  5  Anyone slandering his neighbor in secret,+I will silence.* Anyone with haughty eyes and an arrogant heart,I will not tolerate.  6  I will look to the faithful ones of the earth,So that they may dwell with me. The one walking in blamelessness* will minister to me.  7  No deceitful person will dwell in my house,And no liar will stand in my presence.*  8  Every morning I will silence* all the wicked of the earth,To cut off all wrongdoers from the city of Jehovah.+
