Psalm 101 - Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

A song of David.

¹ I will sing about love and justice. Lord, I will sing to you.

² I will be careful to live a pure life. I will live in my house with complete honesty. When will you come to me?

³ I will not even look at anything shameful. I hate all wrongdoing. I want no part of it!

⁴ I will not be involved in anything dishonest. I will have nothing to do with evil.

⁵ I will stop anyone who secretly says bad things about a neighbor. I will not allow people to be proud and think they are better than others.

⁶ I will look throughout the land for those who can be trusted. Only such people can live with me. Only those who live pure lives can be my servants.

⁷ I will never let a dishonest person live in my house. I will not let liars stay near me.

⁸ My goal each day will be to destroy the wicked living in our land. I will force all who do evil to leave the city of the Lord.
