Psalm 101 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

A Vow of Integrity

A psalm of David.

Psa 101:1

I will sing of faithful love and justice;

I will sing praise to you, LORD.

Psa 101:2

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.

Psa 101:3

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

I hate the practice of transgression;

it will not cling to me.

Psa 101:4

A devious heart will be far from me;

I will not be involved with[fn] evil.

Psa 101:5

I will destroy anyone

who secretly slanders his neighbor;

I cannot tolerate anyone

with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

Psa 101:6

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.

Psa 101:7

No one who acts deceitfully

will live in my palace;

the one who tells lies

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

Psa 101:8

Every morning I will destroy

all the wicked of the land,

wiping out all evildoers from the LORD’s city.
