诗篇 101
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
立志行正直的路
大卫的诗。
101 我要歌唱慈爱和公正；
耶和华啊！我要向你歌颂。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）
2 我要小心谨慎行正直的路；
你甚么时候才到我这里来呢？
我要在我的家中，以正直的心行事。
3 邪恶的事，我都不摆在眼前；
离开正路的人所作的事，我都恨恶，
决不容这些沾染我。
4 狡诈的心思，我要远离；
邪恶的事，我不参与。
5 暗中诽谤邻舍的，我必把他灭绝；
眼目高傲，心里骄横的，
我必不容忍他。
6 我的眼目必看顾国中的诚实人，
使他们与我同住；
行为正直的，
必要侍候我。
7 行诡诈的，必不得住在我的家里；
说谎话的，必不能在我眼前坚立。
8 我每日早晨必灭绝国中所有的恶人，
好把所有作孽的人都从耶和华的城里剪除。

- 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).

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).

A Promise to Act with Integrity
Of David. A psalm.[a]
101 I will sing of loyal love and justice;
I will sing praises to you, O Yahweh.
2 I will give attention to the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will walk in the integrity of my heart
in the midst of my house.
3 I will not set before my eyes
any wicked thing.
I hate the work of those who fall away;[b]
it will not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart will depart from me;
I will not know evil.
5 One who slanders his neighbor in secret,
him I will destroy.
One haughty of eyes and arrogant[c] of heart,
him I will not endure.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,
that they may live with me.
He who walks in the way of integrity,
he shall minister to me.
7 There will not live in the midst of my house
a worker of deceit.
One who speaks lies
will not remain[d] before my eyes.
8 Each morning,[e]
I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
cutting off from the city of Yahweh all evildoers.
