Psalm 101 Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
A Vow of Integrity
A psalm of David.
101 I will sing of faithful love and justice;
I will sing praise to you, Lord.(A)
2 I will pay attention to the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.(B)
3 I will not let anything worthless guide me.[a]
I hate the practice of transgression;
it will not cling to me.(C)
4 A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with[b] evil.(D)
5 I will destroy anyone
who secretly slanders his neighbour;(E)
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.(F)
6 My eyes favour the faithful of the land
so that they may sit down with me.
The one who follows the way of integrity
may serve me.(G)
7 No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
the one who tells lies
will not be retained here to guide me.[c](H)
8 Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
wiping out all evildoers from the Lord’s city.(I)
