Tehillim 101

1 I will sing of chesed and mishpat;

unto Thee, Hashem , will I sing.

2I will study the derech tamim.

O when wilt Thou come unto me?

I will walk within my bais

with tam levav.

3I will set no devar beliyya'al

before mine eyes;

I hate the work of them that fall away;

it shall not cleave to me.

4A lev ikkesh (perverse heart) shall be far from me;

I will not tolerate rah.

5The one who slandereth ba'seter (in secret) his neighbor,

him will I destroy;

him that hath haughty einayim (eyes) and a proud levav

will I not endure.

6Mine eyes shall be upon the ne'emenei eretz (faithful of the land) ,

that they may dwell with me;

he that walketh in a derech tamim,

he shall minister to me.

7He that worketh remiyyah (deceit)

shall not dwell within my bais;

he that speaketh shekarim (falsehoods, lies)

shall not continue in my presence.

8In the bokerim I will destroy

all rishei eretz (wicked ones of the land) ;

that I may cut off all doers of evil

from the Ir Hashem .
