Psalm 101: 1-8

August 7, 2024 12:01 AM

Of David. A psalm.

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


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


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


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


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


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


Every morning I will put to silence     all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer     from the city of the Lord.
