Psalms, 101

Of David. A melody.

¹ 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.^*1 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,^*1 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^*1 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.
