Psalm 101
1 I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, LORD, I will sing praises.
2 I will carefully attend to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall leave me; I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; I will not endure one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; One who walks in a blameless way is one who will serve me.
7 One who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; One who speaks lies shall not maintain his position before me.
8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to eliminate from the city of the LORD all those who do injustice.
Summary: A King's Commitment to Integrity
David pledges to lead a blameless life, to reject evil, and to surround himself with the faithful of the land.
