Psalm 101:1-8
(Of David’s; a psalm.)
101 Friendliness and justice I sing;to you, Jehovah, I make music.
2 I will consider a faultless course;when will you come to me?I will walk with a steady heartwithin my house.
3 I will not lay a base propositionunder my eyes.Doing unprincipled things I hate,it shall not be my habit.
4 A crooked heart I will eschew,will have no knowledge of evil.
5 One who covertly defames anotherI will annihilate.A man of lofty eyes and domineering heartI will not stand.
6 I will have my eyes out for earth’s reliable mento live with me.One who walks a faultless course,he shall serve me.
7 One who practices fraud shall not havea seat inside my house.A liar shall not holda footing under my eyes.
8 Morning by morning I will annihilateall earth’s wrong-doers,Exterminating from Jehovah’s cityall who commit villainy.
