Psalm 101

I Will Walk with Integrity

A psalm of David.

1 I will sing of your love and justice, Lord .
I will praise you with songs.
2 I will be careful to live a blameless life -
when will you come to help me?
I will lead a life of integrity
in my own home.
3 I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil.

5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.
I will not endure conceit and pride.

6 I will search for faithful people
to be my companions.
Only those who are above reproach
will be allowed to serve me.

7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,
and liars will not stay in my presence.

8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked
and free the city of the Lord from their grip.
