Psalms 101

101

A Promise to Rule Well

A psalm of David.

1I will sing of your love and fairness;

Lord, I will sing praises to you.

2I will be careful to live an innocent life.

When will you come to me?

I will live an innocent life in my house.

3I will not look at anything wicked.

I hate those who turn against you;

they will not be found near me.

4Let those who want to do wrong stay away from me;

I will have nothing to do with evil.

5If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor,

I will stop him.

I will not allow people

to be proud and look down on others.

6I will look for trustworthy people

so I can live with them in the land.

Only those who live innocent lives

will be my servants.

7No one who is dishonest will live in my house;

no liars will stay around me.

8Every morning I will destroy the wicked in the land.

I will rid the Lord’s city of people who do evil.
