Psalms, Chapter 101

1A psalm of David.

I

I sing of mercy and justice;

to you, LORD, I sing praise.

2I study the way of integrity;^a

when will you come to me?

I act with integrity of heart

within my household.^*b

3I do not allow into my presence anything base.

I hate wrongdoing;

I will have no part of it.^c

4May the devious heart keep far from me;

the wicked I will not acknowledge.

5Whoever slanders a neighbor in secret

I will reduce to silence.^d

Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts^e

I cannot endure.

II

6I look to the faithful of the land^*

to sit at my side.

Whoever follows the way of integrity^f

is the one to enter my service.

7No one who practices deceit

can remain within my house.

No one who speaks falsely

can last in my presence.^g

8^*Morning after morning I clear all the wicked from the land,

to rid the city of the LORD of all doers of evil.

* [Psalm 101] The king, grateful at being God's chosen (Ps 101:1), promises to be a ruler after God's own heart (Ps 101:2–3), allowing into the royal service only the God-fearing (Ps 101:3–8).
