Psalm 101

New Coverdale Version

My song shall be of mercy and judgment; * unto you, O Lord, will I sing.

O let me have understanding * in the way of godliness.

When will you come to me? * I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes; * I hate the sins of unfaithfulness; no such thing shall cleave to me.

A crooked heart shall depart from me; * I will not know a wicked person.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, * him will I destroy.

Whoever has a proud look and an arrogant heart, * I will not suffer him.

My eyes shall look with favor upon the faithful in the land, * that they may dwell with me.

Whoever leads a godly life, * he shall be my servant.

No deceitful person shall dwell in my house; * the one who tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

I shall soon destroy all the ungodly who are in the land, * that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
