Psalm 101

A Sovereign’s Pledge of Integrity and Justice

Of David. A Psalm.

1I will sing of loyalty and of justice;
    to you, O Lord, I will sing.
2I will study the way that is blameless.
    When shall I attain it?

I will walk with integrity of heart
    within my house;
3I will not set before my eyes
    anything that is base.

I hate the work of those who fall away;
    it shall not cling to me.
4Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;
    I will know nothing of evil.

5One who secretly slanders a neighbor
    I will destroy.
A haughty look and an arrogant heart
    I will not tolerate.

6I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
    so that they may live with me;
whoever walks in the way that is blameless
    shall minister to me.

7No one who practices deceit
    shall remain in my house;
no one who utters lies
    shall continue in my presence.

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