Psalms, Chapter 101
1A psalm of David.
I
I sing of mercy and justice;
to you, LORD, I sing praise.
2I study the way of integrity;a
when will you come to me?
I act with integrity of heart
within my household.*b
3I do not allow into my presence anything base.
I hate wrongdoing;
I will have no part of it.c
4May the devious heart keep far from me;
the wicked I will not acknowledge.
5Whoever slanders a neighbor in secret
I will reduce to silence.d
Haughty eyes and arrogant heartse
I cannot endure.
II
6I look to the faithful of the land*
to sit at my side.
Whoever follows the way of integrityf
is the one to enter my service.
7No one who practices deceit
can remain within my house.
No one who speaks falsely
can last in my presence.g
8*Morning after morning I clear all the wicked from the land,
to rid the city of the LORD of all doers of evil.
* [Psalm 101] The king, grateful at being God's chosen (Ps 101:1), promises to be a ruler after God's own heart (Ps 101:2–3), allowing into the royal service only the God-fearing (Ps 101:3–8).
