Psalm 101 | New International Reader’s Version

A psalm of David.

1 I will sing about your love and fairness. LORD, I will sing praise to you. 2 I 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. 3 I 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. 4 I will stay away from those whose hearts are twisted. I won’t have anything to do with what is evil. 5 I 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. 6 I 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. 7 No one who lies and cheats will live in my house. No one who tells lies will serve me. 8 Every 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.
