Psalm 101
New International Version

### Psalm 101

#### Of David. A psalm.

1 I will sing of your love(A)and justice;
to you,Lord, I will sing praise.
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life(B)—
when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs(C)of my house
with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.(D)

I hate what faithless people do;(E)
I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(F)shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(G)in secret,
I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(H)and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(I)
will minister to me.

7 No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.

8 Every morning(J)I will put to silence
all the wicked(K)in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(L)
from the city of theLord.(M)
