Psalm 101 ~ dwell with me

Psalm 101

1 I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord,

I will make music.

2 I will ponder the way that is blameless.

Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart

within my house;

3 I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless.

I hate the work of those who fall away;

it shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall be far from me;

I will know nothing of evil.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor

secretlyI will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look

and an arrogant heartI will not endure.

6 I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,

that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless

shall minister to me.

7 No one who practices deceit

shall dwell in my house;

no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy

all the wicked in the land,

cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
