Psalm 101

English Standard Version

I Will Walk with Integrity

A Psalm of David.

101 I will sing of ^(A)steadfast love and justice;
    to you, O Lord, I will make music.
²I will ^(B)ponder the way ^(C)that is blameless.
    Oh when will you ^(D)come to me?
I will ^(E)walk with ^(F)integrity of heart
    within my house;
³I will not set before my eyes
    anything ^(G)that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who ^(H)fall away;
    it shall not cling to me.
⁴^(I)A perverse heart shall be far from me;
    I will ^(J)know nothing of evil.

⁵Whoever slanders his neighbor ^(K)secretly
I will ^(L)destroy.
Whoever has a ^(M)haughty look and an ^(N)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 ^(O)the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.

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

⁸^(R)Morning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
^(S)cutting off all ^(T)the evildoers
from ^(U)the city of the Lord.
