Psalm 101

I Will Walk with Integrity

A Psalm of David.

1
I will sing of c steadfast love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will make music.
 2 I will d ponder the way e that is blameless.
Oh when will you f come to me?
I will g walk with h integrity of heart
within my house;
 3 I will not set before my eyes
anything i that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who j fall away;
it shall not cling to me.
 4 k A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will l know nothing of evil.

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

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

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

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