New Living Translation

Psalms • Chapter 101

1 I will sing of your love and justice, LORD.<br>I will praise you with songs.<br> 2 I will be careful to live a blameless life —<br>when will you come to help me?<br>I will lead a life of integrity<br>in my own home.<br> 3 I will refuse to look at<br>anything vile and vulgar.<br>I hate all who deal crookedly;<br>I will have nothing to do with them.<br> 4 I will reject perverse ideas<br>and stay away from every evil.<br> 5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.<br>I will not endure conceit and pride.<br> 6 I will search for faithful people<br>to be my companions.<br>Only those who are above reproach<br>will be allowed to serve me.<br> 7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,<br>and liars will not stay in my presence.<br> 8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked<br>and free the city of the LORD from their grip.<br>
