Psalm 101

A Vow of Integrity

A psalm of David.

I will sing of faithful love and justice;
I will sing praise to you, Lord.(A)
I will pay attention to the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.(B)
I will not let anything worthless guide me.[a]
I hate the practice of transgression;
it will not cling to me.(C)
A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with[b] evil.(D)
