Psalm 101
Easy-to-Read Version

A song of David.

101 I will sing about love and justice.
    Lord, I will sing to you.
2 I will be careful to live a pure life.
    I will live in my house with complete honesty.
    When will you come to me?
3 I will not even look at anything shameful.[a]
    I hate all wrongdoing.
    I want no part of it!
4 I will not be involved in anything dishonest.
    I will have nothing to do with evil.
5 I will stop anyone who secretly
    says bad things about a neighbor.
I will not allow people to be proud
    and think they are better than others.

6 I will look throughout the land for those who can be trusted.
    Only such people can live with me.
    Only those who live pure lives can be my servants.
7 I will never let a dishonest person live in my house.
    I will not let liars stay near me.
8 My goal each day will be to destroy the wicked living in our land.
    I will force all who do evil to leave the city of the Lord.

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 the Lord.(M)
