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.

Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 101 (YLT)
[1] Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.
[2] I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.
[3] I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.
[4] A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.
[5] Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
[6] Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.
[7] He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.
[8] At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
