Psalm 101 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

A Psalm of David.

I will sing of [steadfast] lovingkindness and justice;

To You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

I will behave wisely and follow the way of integrity.

When will You come to me?

I will walk in my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.

I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes.

I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path];

It will not grasp hold of me.

A perverse heart shall depart from me;

I will not tolerate evil.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will silence;

The one who has a haughty look and a proud (arrogant) heart I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful (honorable) of the land, that they may dwell with me;

He who walks blamelessly is the one who will minister to and serve me.

He who practices deceit will not dwell in my house;

He who tells lies and half-truths will not continue [to remain] in my presence.

Morning after morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land,

That I may cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do evil.
