Psalm 101

¹I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

²I will ponder the way that is blameless—when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

³I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

⁴A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

⁵Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

⁶My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

⁷No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

⁸Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
