Psalm 101

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

^101:8 The prayer of an oppressed man, as he grows faint and pours out his lament before the Lord.
