Psalm 101

¹Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice!

I want to sing my praises to you, LORD !

²I want to study the way of integrity—

how long before it gets here?

³I won’t set my eyes on anything worthless.

I hate wrongdoing;

none of that will stick to me.

⁴A corrupt heart will be far from me.

I won’t be familiar with evil.

⁵I will destroy anyone

who secretly tells lies about a neighbor.

I can’t stomach anyone

who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.

⁶My eyes focus on those

who are faithful in the land,

to have them close to me.

The person who walks without blame

will work for me.

⁷But the person who acts deceitfully

won’t stay in my house.

The person who tells lies

won’t last for long before me.

⁸Every morning I will destroy

all those who are wicked in the land
