Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
I will sing of your love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
2
I will be careful to lead a blameless life—
when will you come to me?
I will walk in my house
with blameless heart.
3
I will set before my eyes
no vile thing.
The deeds of faithless men I hate;
they will not cling to me.
4
Men of perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with evil.
5
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
him will I put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,
him will I not endure.
6
My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he whose walk is blameless
will minister to me.
7
No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
8
Every morning I will put to silence
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
from the city of the Lord.
