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
David wrote this psalm.
The king's song #101:1 David promises to serve God and to rule his people well.
1I will sing and praise you, Lord!
I will sing about your faithful love and your justice. #101:1 ‘Faithful love’ is the love that God has for his own people.
2I will be careful to live in a completely good way.
When will you come to help me, Lord?
In my own home,
I will always be completely honest.
3As for evil things,
I will not even think about them.
I hate the things that wicked people do.
They will not be my friends.
4I will keep away from people with wrong thoughts.
I will not mix with them.
5If anyone secretly speaks against his friend,
I will destroy them.
If anyone is proud and they boast about themselves,
I will send them away from me.
6Instead, I will work with people
that I can trust.
I will let them live with me and be my guides.
My servants will be people
who live in an honest way.
7People who deceive others or who tell lies
will not have a place in my home.
8Every morning I will remove
any wicked person who lives in our land. #101:8 Every morning probably means the time when David judged people. He decided whether they deserved punishment.
Nobody who does evil things
will remain in the city of the Lord.
