Psalm 101

Psalm 101

The title is “Of David. A psalm”, thus:

Your love and justice, that of which I sing.
To you, Lord, by my singing, praises bring.
A blameless life, I will take care to lead.
When will you ever come to visit me?
Conducting all my house and its affairs.
Of sin, my blameless heart is unaware.
No gazing with approval on what’s vile.
Those faithless actions, never worth my while.
Perverse of heart, from me, are far removed.
With evil, won’t have anything to do.
Their secret, sland’rous words I silence now.
Their haughty eyes, and heart: so very proud.
These things I will not tolerate.
My eyes upon those ones who full of faith,
that they may be the ones who dwell with me.
The man whose blameless walking constantly
is one who serves as minister to me.
The man who practices his vain deceit
inside my house is where he’ll never sleep.
False speech will never in my presence stand.
When will I silence wicked in the land?
Each morning. Where, the place off which they’re cut?
Your city, Lord, to them, its gates are shut.
