The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
101 I will (A)sing of mercy and justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will (B)carefully attend to the blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the (C)integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no (D)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who (E)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A (F)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly (G)slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (H)haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a (I)blameless way is one who will serve me.
7 One who (J)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (K)shall not maintain his position before me.
8 (L)Every morning I will (M)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (N)eliminate from the (O)city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
