    and worship at his ^(W)holy mountain;
    for the Lord our God is holy!

I Will Walk with Integrity

A Psalm of David.

101 I will sing of ^(AL)steadfast love and justice;
    to you, O Lord, I will make music.
²I will ^(AM)ponder the way ^(AN)that is blameless.
    Oh when will you ^(AO)come to me?
I will ^(AP)walk with ^(AQ)integrity of heart
    within my house;
³I will not set before my eyes
    anything ^(AR)that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who ^(AS)fall away;
    it shall not cling to me.
⁴^(AT)A perverse heart shall be far from me;
    I will ^(AU)know nothing of evil.

⁵Whoever slanders his neighbor ^(AV)secretly
I will ^(AW)destroy.
Whoever has a ^(AX)haughty look and an ^(AY)arrogant heart
I will not endure.

⁶I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in ^(AZ)the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.

⁷No one who ^(BA)practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall ^(BB)continue before my eyes.

⁸^(BC)Morning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
^(BD)cutting off all ^(BE)the evildoers
from ^(BF)the city of the Lord.
