Psalms 101
1I will sing of your love and justice;to you, Lord, I will sing praise. 2I will be careful to lead a blameless life—when will you come to me?I will conduct the affairs of my housewith a blameless heart. 3I will not look with approvalon anything that is vile.I hate what faithless people do;I will have no part in it. 4The perverse of heart shall be far from me;I will have nothing to do with what is evil. 5Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret,I will put to silence;whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,I will not tolerate. 6My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,that they may dwell with me;the one whose walk is blamelesswill minister to me. 7No one who practices deceitwill dwell in my house;no one who speaks falselywill stand in my presence. 8Every morning I will put to silenceall the wicked in the land;I will cut off every evildoerfrom the city of the Lord.
