Psalms 101
Psalm
1 My song is about kindness and justice; Yahweh, I sing it to you.
2 I mean to make good progress, as the blameless do: when will you come to me? In my household, I will advance in purity of heart;
3 I will not let my eyes rest on any misconduct. I hate the practices of the apostate, they have no appeal for me;
4 perverted hearts must keep their distance, the wicked I disregard.
5 The man who secretly slanders his neighbour I reduce to silence; haughty looks, proud heart, I cannot tolerate these.
6 I look to my religious countrymen to compose my household; only the man who makes progress, as the blameless do, can be my servant.
7 There is no room in my house for any hypocrite; no liar keeps his post where I can see him.
8 Morning after morning[*a] I reduce to silence all who are wicked in this country, banishing from the city of Yahweh all evil men.
