Psalm 101

1. (0) A psalm of David: 1 (1) I am singing of grace and justice; 1 I am singing to you, Adonai.

2. I will follow the path of integrity; 2 when will you come to me? 2 I will run my life with a sincere heart 2 inside my own house.

3. I will not allow before my eyes 3 any shameful thing. 3 I hate those who act crookedly; 3 what they do does not attract me.

4. Deviousness will depart from me; 4 I will not tolerate evil.

5. If someone slanders another in secret, 5 I will cut him off. 5 Haughty eyes and proud hearts 5 I cannot abide.

6. I look to the faithful of the land, 6 so that they can be my companions; 6 those who live lives of integrity 6 can be servants of mine.

7. No deceitful person can live in my house; 7 no liar can be my advisor.

8. Every morning I will destroy 8 all the wicked of the land, 8 cutting off all evildoers 8 from the city of Adonai.
