Psalm 101 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

A psalm of David.

I will sing of faithful love and justice;

I will sing praise to you, LORD.

I will pay attention to the way of integrity.

When will you come to me?

I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.

I will not let anything worthless guide me.[fn]

I hate the practice of transgression;

it will not cling to me.

A devious heart will be far from me;

I will not be involved with[fn] evil.

I will destroy anyone

who secretly slanders his neighbor;

I cannot tolerate anyone

with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land

so that they may sit down with me.

The one who follows the way of integrity

may serve me.

No one who acts deceitfully

will live in my palace;

the one who tells lies

will not be retained here to guide me.[fn]

Every morning I will destroy

all the wicked of the land,

wiping out all evildoers from the LORD’s city.

Lit I will not put a worthless thing in front of my eyes

Lit not know

Lit be established in front of my eyes
