1I will sing about your love and fairness. LORD, I will sing praise to you.2I will be careful to lead a life that is without blame. When will you come and help me? In my own home I will lead a life that is without blame.3I won’t look at anything that is evil and call it good. I hate the acts of people who aren’t faithful to you. I won’t have anything to do with those things.4I will stay away from those whose hearts are twisted. I won’t have anything to do with what is evil.5I will get rid of anyone who tells lies about their neighbour in secret. I won’t put up with anyone whose eyes and heart are proud.6I will look with favour on the faithful people in the land. They will live with me. Those whose lives are without blame will serve me.7No one who lies and cheats will live in my house. No one who tells lies will serve me.8Every morning I will get rid of all the sinful people in the land. I will remove from the city of the LORD everyone who does what is evil.
Psalm 101
English Standard Version
I Will Walk with Integrity
1A Psalm of David. I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music. (Ex 34:7)2I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house; (Ex 20:24; 1Ki 9:4; Ps 4:4; Ps 78:72; Ps 119:1; Pr 11:20; Mt 5:48; Joh 14:23)3I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. (De 15:9; Ps 40:4)4A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil. (Pr 11:20; Pr 17:20; 1Co 5:11)5Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure. (Ps 15:3; Ps 18:27; Ps 101:8; Ps 131:1; Pr 6:17; Pr 16:5; Pr 21:4; Pr 30:13)6I 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. (Ps 119:1; Pr 11:20; Mt 5:48)7No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes. (Ps 52:2; Ps 102:28)8Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord. (Ps 48:1; Ps 48:8; Ps 73:14; Ps 75:10; Ps 94:4; Isa 52:1)
