Psalm 101 - New International Version (Anglicised)

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

¹ I will sing of your love and justice; to you, Lord, I will sing praise.

² I will be careful to lead a blameless life – when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.

³ I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

⁴ The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

⁵ Whoever slanders their neighbour in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes 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 way of life is blameless will minister to me.

⁷ No-one who practises 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.
