Psalms 101

A Promise to Rule Well

A psalm of David.

1 I will sing of your love and fairness;
    Lord, I will sing praises to you.
2 I will be careful to live an innocent life.
    When will you come to me?

I will live an innocent life in my house.
3 I will not look at anything wicked.
I hate those who turn against you;
    they will not be found near me.
4 Let those who want to do wrong stay away from me;
    I will have nothing to do with evil.
5 If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor,
    I will stop him.
I will not allow people
    to be proud and look down on others.

6 I will look for trustworthy people
    so I can live with them in the land.
Only those who live innocent lives
    will be my servants.
7 No one who is dishonest will live in my house;
    no liars will stay around me.
8 Every morning I will destroy the wicked in the land.
    I will rid the Lord's city of people who do evil.
