Psalm 101 David promises to God to walk before Him with integrity and to oppose the wicked

 Psalm 101

David promises to God to walk before Him with integrity and to oppose the wicked

1 I will sing of mercy and justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing.

2 I will behave myself wisely in the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will walk in my house with a blameless heart.

3 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the deeds of them that turn aside; none shall cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked man.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret I will destroy: him who has a haughty look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

6 My eyes shall seek the faithful of the land, that they may be with me: he who walks in the way of integrity, he shall serve me.

7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he who speaks lies shall not be established in my sight.

8 In the morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, to cut off from the city of the Lord all the workers of iniquity.
