Footnotes
- Psalm 101:1 sn Psalm 101. The psalmist, who appears to be a king, promises to promote justice in his land and vows to rid his royal court of evildoers.
- Psalm 101:2 tn Heb “take notice of.”
- Psalm 101:2 tn Heb “I will walk about in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.”
- Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “I will not set before my eyes a thing of worthlessness.”
- Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “the doing of swerving [deeds] I hate.” The Hebrew term סֵטִים (setim) is probably an alternate spelling of שֵׂטִים (setim), which appears in many medieval Hebrew mss. The form appears to be derived from a verbal root שׂוּט (sut, “to fall away; to swerve”; see Ps 40:4).
- Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “it [i.e., the doing of evil deeds] does not cling to me.”
- Psalm 101:4 tn Heb “a perverse heart will turn aside from me.” The adjective עִקֵּשׁ (ʿiqqesh) has the basic nuance “twisted; crooked” and by extension refers to someone or something that is morally perverse (see Ps 18:26). It appears frequently in the Book of Proverbs, where it is used of evil people (22:5), speech (8:8; 19:1), thoughts (11:20; 17:20), and life styles (2:15; 28:6).
- Psalm 101:4 tn Heb “know.” The king will not willingly allow perverse individuals to remain in his royal court.
- Psalm 101:5 tn Heb “[one who has] pride of eyes and wideness [i.e., arrogance] of heart, him I will not endure.”
- Psalm 101:6 tn Heb “my eyes [are] on the faithful of the land.”
- Psalm 101:6 tn The Hebrew text simply reads, “in order to live with me.”
- Psalm 101:6 tn Heb “one who walks in the way of integrity, he will minister to me.”
- Psalm 101:7 tn Heb “he will not live in the midst of my house, one who does deceit.”

Psalm 101
King James Version
101 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
