psalm

A song of David.

101 
I will sing about love and justice.

Lord, I will sing to you.

I will be careful to live a pure life.

I will live in my house with complete honesty.

When will you come to me?

I will not even look at anything shameful.[a]

I hate all wrongdoing.

I want no part of it!

I will not be involved in anything dishonest.

I will have nothing to do with evil.

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.

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.

I will never let a dishonest person live in my house.

I will not let liars stay near me.

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.
