New International Version

Psalm 101 New International Version (NIV)

Of David. A psalm.

1. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, Lord, I will sing praise.

2. I will be careful to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart.

3. I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

4. The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

5. Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes 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 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 I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord.
