    Psalm 101

    Of David. A psalm.

    101 Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice!
        I want to sing my praises to you, Lord!
    I want to study the way of integrity—
        how long before it gets here?
            I will walk with a heart of integrity
            in my own house.
    I won’t set my eyes on anything worthless.
        I hate wrongdoing;
        none of that will stick to me.
    A corrupt heart will be far from me.
        I won’t be familiar with evil.
    I will destroy anyone
        who secretly tells lies about a neighbor.
    I can’t stomach anyone
        who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.
    My eyes focus on those
        who are faithful in the land,
        to have them close to me.
    The person who walks without blame
        will work for me.
    But the person who acts deceitfully
        won’t stay in my house.
    The person who tells lies
        won’t last for long before me.
    Every morning I will destroy
        all those who are wicked in the land
            in order to eliminate all evildoers
            from the Lord’s city.
