Psalm 101:1-8
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.+
