Psalm 101
A Psalm of David.
My song shall be of mercy and judgment; unto you, O Lord, will I sing.
O let me have understanding in the way of godliness.
When will you come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.
I will set no wicked thing before my eyes; I hate the sins of unfaithfulness; no such thing shall cleave to me.
A crooked heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him will I destroy.
Whoever has a proud look and an arrogant heart, I will not suffer him.
My eyes shall look with favor upon the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me.
Whoever leads a godly life, he shall be my servant.
No deceitful person shall dwell in my house; the one who tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.
I shall soon destroy all the ungodly who are in the land, that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
