Psalm 101:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 I study the way of integrity;(A)
when will you come to me?
I act with integrity of heart
within my household.[a](B)
3 I do not allow into my presence anything base.
I hate wrongdoing;
I will have no part of it.(C)
4 May the devious heart keep far from me;
the wicked I will not acknowledge.
