Psalm 101

1 A Psalm. Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> I will sing of loving devotion and justice; to You, O YHWH, I will sing praises.

2 I will act wisely in the way of integrity. When will You come to me? I walk about in the integrity of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 I do not set before my eyes an object of worthlessness; I have hated the work of those turning aside—it shall not cling to me!

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; evil I will not know.

5 The one slandering his neighbor in secret, I will put an end [to] him; the high of eyes and proud of heart—him I will not endure.

6 My eyes [are] on the faithful ones of the land, to dwell with me; the one walking in the way of integrity, he shall minister to me.

7 There shall not dwell within my house one working deceit; the one speaking lies shall not be fixed before my eyes.

8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, to cut off from the city of YHWH all workers of iniquity!
