Psalm 101

I Will Walk with Integrity

1. A Psalm of David. 1 I will sing of steadfast love and justice; 1 to you, O Lord, I will make music.

2. I will ponder the way that is blameless. 2 Oh when will you come to me? 2 I will walk with integrity of heart 2 within my house;

3. I will not set before my eyes 3 anything that is worthless. 3 I hate the work of those who fall away; 3 it shall not cling to me.

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

5. Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly 5 I will destroy. 5 Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart 5 I will not endure.

6. I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, 6 that they may dwell with me; 6 he who walks in the way that is blameless 6 shall minister to me.

7. No one who practices deceit 7 shall dwell in my house; 7 no one who utters lies 7 shall continue before my eyes.

8. Morning by morning I will destroy 8 all the wicked in the land, 8 cutting off all the evildoers 8 from the city of the Lord.
