Psalm

101 About loving-kindness and judgment I will sing.+

To you, O Jehovah, I will make melody.+

 2 I will act with discretion in a faultless way.+

When will you come to me?+

I shall walk about in the integrity of my heart inside my house.+

 3 I shall not set in front of my eyes any good-for-nothing thing.*+

The doing of those who fall away I have hated;+

It does not cling to me.+

 4 A crooked heart departs from me;+

Nothing bad do I know.+

 5 Anyone slandering his companion in secrecy,+

Him I silence.+

Anyone of haughty eyes and of arrogant heart,*+

Him I cannot endure.+

 6 My eyes are upon the faithful ones of the earth,+

That they may dwell with me.+

The one walking in a faultless way,+

He it is who will minister to me.+

 7 There will dwell inside my house no worker of trickiness.+

As for anyone speaking falsehoods, he will not be firmly established+

In front of my eyes.+

 8 Every morning* I shall silence all the wicked ones of the earth,+

To cut off from the city+ of Jehovah all the practicers of what is hurtful.+
