Chapter 101

A Psalm by David.

¹I will sing of loving kindness and justice.

To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

²I will be careful to live a blameless life.

When will you come to me?

I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

³I will set no vile thing before my eyes.

I hate the deeds of faithless men.

They will not cling to me.

⁴A perverse heart will be far from me.

I will have nothing to do with evil.

⁵I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.

I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

⁶My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,

That they may dwell with me.

He who walks in a perfect way,

He will serve me.

⁷He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house.

He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

⁸Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land;

To cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
