Psalm 101

    Of David. A psalm.
 ¹ I will sing of your love and justice;
   to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.
² I will be careful to lead a blameless life—
   when will you come to me?
   I will walk in my house
   with blameless heart.
³ I will set before my eyes
   no vile thing.
   The deeds of faithless men I hate;
   they will not cling to me.
⁴ Men of perverse heart shall be far from me;
   I will have nothing to do with evil.
 ⁵ Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
   him will I put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,
   him will I not endure.
 ⁶ My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
   that they may dwell with me;
he whose walk is blameless
   will minister to me.
 ⁷ No one who practices deceit
   will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
   will stand in my presence.
 ⁸ Every morning I will put to silence
   all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
   from the city of the LORD.
