Psalms 101

¹ [Of David Psalm] I wil sing of faithful love and judgement; to you, Yahweh, will I make music.

² I wil go forward in the path of the blameless; when will you come to me? I wil live in purity of heart, inmy house,

³ I wil not set before my eyes anything sordid. I hate those who act crookedly; this has no attraction forme.

⁴ Let the perverse of heart keep away from me; the wicked I disregard.

⁵ One who secretly slanders a comrade, I reduce to silence; haughty looks, proud heart, these I cannotabide.

⁶ I look to the faithful of the land to be my companions, only he who walks in the path of the blamelessshall be my servant.

⁷ There is no room in my house for anyone who practises deceit; no liar wil stand his ground where Ican see him.

⁸ Morning after morning I reduce to silence al the wicked in the land, banishing from the city ofYahweh al evil-doers.
