Psalm 101 New International Version

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

¹ I will sing of your love^(A) and justice;
    to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
² I will be careful to lead a blameless life^(B)—
    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs^(C) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
³ I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.^(D)

I hate what faithless people do;^(E)
    I will have no part in it.
⁴ The perverse of heart^(F) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

⁵ Whoever slanders their neighbor^(G) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes^(H) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

⁶ My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless^(I)
    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^(J) I will put to silence
    all the wicked^(K) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer^(L)
    from the city of the Lord.^(M)
