A psalm of David.
101:1 I will sing about loyalty and justice!
To you, O Lord, I will sing praises!
101:2 I will walk in 2 the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace. 3
101:3 I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. 4
I hate doing evil; 5
I will have no part of it. 6
101:4 I will have nothing to do with a perverse person; 7
I will not permit 8 evil.
101:5 I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret.
I will not tolerate anyone who has a cocky demeanor and an arrogant attitude. 9
101:6 I will favor the honest people of the land, 10
and allow them to live with me. 11
Those who walk in the way of integrity will attend me. 12
101:7 Deceitful people will not live in my palace. 13
Liars will not be welcome in my presence. 14
101:8 Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land,
and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
