Psalms 101

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

A Psalm of David.

1I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2I will ponder the way that is blameless—when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.
