101
The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
I will Asing of lovingkindness and 1justice,
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
I will 1Agive heed to the 2blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the 3Bintegrity of my heart.
I will set no Aworthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the 1work of those who Bfall away;
It shall not fasten its grip on me.
A Aperverse heart shall depart from me;
I will know no evil.
Whoever secretly Aslanders his neighbor, him I will 1destroy;
No one who has a Bhaughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.
My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a 1Ablameless way is the one who will minister to me.
He who Apractices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who speaks falsehood Bshall not 1maintain his position before me.
AEvery morning I will 1Bdestroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to Ccut off from the Dcity of the Lord all those who do iniquity.
