Psalms 101
David's psalm of commitment to righteous leadership. He vows to lead a blameless life, refusing to tolerate the faithless, slanderers, or the proud. He will seek faithful servants and silence the wicked in the land.
A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
I will ponder the way that is blameless—when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.
I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.
My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.
No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.
Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
