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.

A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of mercy and judgement:
Unto thee, O LORD, will I sing praises
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto me.
4A froward heart shall depart from me:
I will know no evil thing.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy:
Him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
