Psalm 101
New King James Version

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

A Psalm of David.

101 I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2 I will behave wisely in a [a]perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will (A)walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set nothing [b]wicked before my eyes;
(B)I hate the work of those (C)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (D)know wickedness.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(E)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [c]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not [d]continue in my presence.
8 (F)Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers (G)from the city of the Lord.

Psalmen 101
Het Boek

101 Een psalm van David.

Ik wil een lied zingen
over goedheid, liefde en rechtvaardigheid.
Voor U, Here, wil ik een psalm zingen.
2 Ik zorg ervoor dat ik zuiver leef.
Komt U naar mij toe?
Ik leef oprecht en eerlijk.
3 Ik denk niet aan onzuivere dingen.
Ik haat de levenswandel van de zondaars.
Daar houd ik mij verre van.
4 Iemand met een zondig hart
moet ver van mij wegblijven
en misdadigers wil ik niet kennen.
5 Wie stiekem kwaadspreekt over zijn kennissen,
wil ik vernietigen.
Wie hoogmoedig en trots is,
kan ik niet verdragen.
6 Ik ben op zoek naar eerlijke mensen,
die mogen bij mij wonen.
Wie zuiver leeft, mag mij dienen.
7 Bedriegers mogen niet in mijn huis komen
en leugenaars kan ik niet zien!
8 Elke dag opnieuw vernietig ik
de ongelovigen in dit land
en in Jeruzalem wil ik de zondaars uitroeien.

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

1 I will sing of your love(A) and justice;
    to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life(B)—
    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs(C) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.(D)

I hate what faithless people do;(E)
    I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(F) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(G) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(H) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(I)
    will minister to me.

7 No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

8 Every morning(J) I will put to silence
    all the wicked(K) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(L)
    from the city of the Lord.(M)
