Psalm 101 (WEBP)

[1] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.
[2] I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
[3] I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
[4] A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
[5] I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.
[6] My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
[7] He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
[8] Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
