Psalms: 101

[A Psalm of David.]

Profession of Integrity.

I will sing of loyalty and of justice;
to thee, O LORD, I will sing.
I will give heed to the way that is blameless.
Oh when wilt thou come to me?

I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
I will not set before my eyes anything that is base.

I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall not cleave to me.
Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;
I will know nothing of evil.

Him who slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy.
The man of haughty looks and arrogant heart I will not endure.

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

No man who practices deceit shall dwell in my house;
no man who utters lies shall continue in my presence.

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