Psalms 101
101
Integrity
David’s poetic praise
1Lord, I will sing about your faithful love for me.
My song of praise will have your justice as its theme.
2I’m trying my best to walk in the way of integrity,
especially in my own home.
But I need your help!
I’m wondering, Lord, when will you appear?
3I refuse to gaze on that which is vulgar.
I despise works of evil people
and anything that moves my heart away from you.
I will not let evil hold me in its grip.
4Every perverse and crooked way I have put away from my heart,
for I will have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness. # 101:4 Or “evil people.”
5I will silence those who secretly want to slander my friends,
and I will not tolerate the proud and arrogant.
6My innermost circle # 101:6 Or “The faithful of the land.” will only be those
who I know are pure and godly.
They will be the only ones I allow to minister to me.
7There’s no room in my home for hypocrites,
for I can’t stand chronic liars who flatter and deceive.
8At each and every sunrise I will awake to do what’s right
and put to silence those who love wickedness,
freeing God’s people # 101:8 Or “the city of Yahweh.” from their evil grip.
I will do all of this because of my great love for you! # 101:8 This phrase, implied in the Hebrew text, brings conclusion to the psalm.

Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
1Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice!
I want to sing my praises to you, LORD!
2I 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.
3I won’t set my eyes on anything worthless.
I hate wrongdoing;
none of that will stick to me.
4A corrupt heart will be far from me.
I won’t be familiar with evil.
5I will destroy anyone
who secretly tells lies about a neighbor.
I can’t stomach anyone
who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.
6My 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.
7But the person who acts deceitfully
won’t stay in my house.
The person who tells lies
won’t last for long before me.
8Every morning I will destroy
all those who are wicked in the land
in order to eliminate all evildoers
from the LORD’s city.
