Psalm 101

A Vow of Integrity

A psalm of David.

¹I will sing of faithful love and justice;
I will sing praise to you, Lord.^(A)
²I 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)
³I will not let anything worthless guide me.^[a]
I hate the practice of transgression;
it will not cling to me.^(C)
⁴A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with^[b] evil.^(D)

⁵I will destroy anyone
who secretly slanders his neighbor;^(E)
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.^(F)
⁶My eyes favor the faithful of the land
so that they may sit down with me.
The one who follows the way of integrity
may serve me.^(G)
⁷No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
the one who tells lies
will not be retained here to guide me.^[c]^(H)
⁸Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
wiping out all evildoers from the Lord’s city.^(I)
