Psalm 101A Sovereign’s Pledge of Integrity and JusticeOf David. A Psalm.

1 Ps 89.1 I will sing of loyalty and of justice;

to you, O Lord, I will sing.

2 1 Sam 18.14; 1 Kings 9.4 I will study the way that is blameless.

When shall I attain it?

I will walk with integrity of heart

within my house;

3 Deut 15.9; Ps 40.4 I will not set before my eyes

anything that is base.

I hate the work of those who fall away;

it shall not cling to me.

4 Prov 11.20 Perverseness of heart shall be far from me;

I will know nothing of evil.

5 Ps 50.20; Prov 6.17 One who secretly slanders a neighbor

I will destroy.

A haughty look and an arrogant heart

I will not tolerate.

6 Ps 119.1 I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,

so that they may live with me;

whoever walks in the way that is blameless

shall minister to me.

7No one who practices deceit

shall remain in my house;

no one who utters lies

shall continue in my presence.

8 Ps 75.10; 118.10–12 Morning by morning I will destroy

all the wicked in the land,

cutting off all evildoers

from the city of the Lord.
