Psalms 101
Chapter 101 of 150
1 Norm of Life for Rulers. A psalm of David. I sing of mercy and justice; to you, Lord, I sing praise.
2 I study the way of integrity; when will you come to me? I act with integrity of heart within my household.
3 I do not allow into my presence anything base. I hate wrongdoing; I will have no part of it.
4 May the devious heart keep far from me; the wicked I will not acknowledge.
5 Whoever slanders a neighbor in secret I will reduce to silence. Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts I cannot endure.
6 I look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Whoever follows the way of integrity is the one to enter my service.
7 No one who practices deceit can remain within my house. No one who speaks falsely can last in my presence.
8 Morning after morning I clear all the wicked from the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all doers of evil.
