Psalm 101 - Modern English Version (MEV)

Psalm 101

A Psalm of David.

1 I will sing of mercy and justice;
to You, O Lord, I will sing.
2 I will consider the path that is blameless.
When will You come to me?

I will walk within my house
with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing
before my eyes.

I hate the work of those who turn aside;
it shall not have part of me.
4 A perverted heart shall be far from me;
I will not know anything wicked.

5 Whoever privately slanders his neighbor,
him I will destroy;
whoever has a haughty look and a proud heart
I will not endure.

6 My eyes shall be favorable to the faithful in the land,
that they may live with me;
he who walks in a blameless manner,
he shall serve me.

7 He who practices deceit
shall not dwell within my house;
he who tells lies
shall not remain in my sight.

8 Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
that I may cut off all wicked doers
from the city of the Lord.
