Psalm 101

A Psalm of David.
I will sing of steadfast love and justice; 
    to you, O Lord, I will make music. 
I will ponder the way that is blameless. 
Oh when will you come to me? 
I will walk with integrity of heart 
    within my house; 
I 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. 
A perverse heart shall be far from me; 
I will know nothing of evil. 
Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly 
I will destroy. 
Whoever has a haughty look and an 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 one who practices deceit 
    shall dwell in my house; 
    no one who utters lies 
    shall continue before my eyes. 
Morning by morning I will destroy 
    all the wicked in the land, 
    cutting off all the evildoers 
    from the city of the Lord.
