Psalm 101

Of David. A Psalm.
        I will sing of loyalty and of justice;
        to you, O LORD, I will sing.
        I will study the way that is blameless.
        When shall I attain it?

        I will walk with integrity of heart
        within my house;
        I will not set before my eyes
        anything that is base.

        I hate the work of those who fall away;
        it shall not cling to me.
        Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;
        I will know nothing of evil.
        One who secretly slanders a neighbor
        I will destroy.
        A haughty look and an arrogant heart
        I will not tolerate.
        I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
        so that they may live with me;
        whoever walks in the way that is blameless
        shall minister to me.
        No one who practices deceit
        shall remain in my house;
        no one who utters lies
        shall continue in my presence.
        Morning by morning I will destroy
        all the wicked in the land,
        cutting off all evildoers
        from the city of the LORD.
