Psalms 101
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1I will sing about love and justice. LORD, I will sing to you.
- 2I will be careful to live a pure life. I will live in my house with complete honesty. When will you come to me?
- 3I will not even look at anything shameful.[1] I hate all wrongdoing. I want no part of it!
- 4I will not be involved in anything dishonest. I will have nothing to do with evil.
- 5I will stop anyone who secretly says bad things about a neighbor. I will not allow people to be proud and think they are better than others.
- 6I will look throughout the land for those who can be trusted. Only such people can live with me. Only those who live pure lives can be my servants.
- 7I will never let a dishonest person live in my house. I will not let liars stay near me.
- 8My goal each day will be to destroy the wicked living in our land. I will force all who do evil to leave the city of the LORD.
