Psalm 101 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

I Will Walk with Integrity

Psa 101:1A Psalm of David.
I will sing of steadfast love and justice;
to you, O LORD, I will make music.

Psa 101:2I will ponder the way that is blameless.
Oh when will you come to me?
I will walk with integrity of heart
within my house;

Psa 101:3

Psa 101:3I will not set before my eyes
anything that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall not cling to me.

Psa 101:4

Psa 101:4A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will know nothing of evil.

Psa 101:5

Psa 101:5Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly
I will destroy.
Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart
I will not endure.

Psa 101:6

Psa 101:6I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.

Psa 101:7

Psa 101:7No one who practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall continue before my eyes.

Psa 101:8

Psa 101:8Morning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
cutting off all the evildoers
from the city of the LORD.
