Psalms 101

NEW JERUSALEM	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 [Of David Psalm] I wil sing of faithful love and judgement; to you, Yahweh, will I make music.	1 A psalm of David. I sing of love and justice; to you, LORD, I sing praise.
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,	2 I follow the way of integrity; when will you come to me? I act with integrity of heart within my royal court.
3 I wil not set before my eyes anything sordid. I hate those who act crookedly; this has no attraction forme.	3 I do not allow into my presence anyone who speaks perversely. Whoever acts shamefully I hate; no such person can be my friend.
4 Let the perverse of heart keep away from me; the wicked I disregard.	4 I shun the devious of heart; the wicked I do not tolerate.
5 One who secretly slanders a comrade, I reduce to silence; haughty looks, proud heart, these I cannotabide.	5 Whoever slanders another in secret I reduce to silence. Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts I cannot endure.
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.	6 I look to the faithful of the land; they alone can be my companions. Those who follow the way of integrity, they alone can enter my service.
7 There is no room in my house for anyone who practises deceit; no liar wil stand his ground where Ican see him.	7 No one who practices deceit can hold a post in my court. No one who speaks falsely can be among my advisors.
8 Morning after morning I reduce to silence al the wicked in the land, banishing from the city ofYahweh al evil-doers.	8 Each morning I clear the wicked from the land, and rid the LORD'S city of all evildoers.
