The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

1 I will sing of mercy and *101:1 Or judgmentjustice;

To You, Lord, I will sing praises.

2 I will carefully attend to the *101:2 Or way of integrityblameless way.

When will You come to me?

I will walk within my house in the *101:2 Or blamelessnessintegrity of my heart.

3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes;

I hate the *101:3 Or practice of apostasywork of those who fall away;

It shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall leave me;

I will know no evil.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will *101:5 Or silencedestroy;

I will not endure one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart.

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;

One who walks in a *101:6 Or way of integrityblameless way is one who will serve me.

7 One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;

One who speaks lies shall not *101:7 Lit be established before my eyesmaintain his position before me.

8 Every morning I will *101:8 Or silencedestroy all the wicked of the land,

So as to eliminate from the city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
