Psalm 101.A King’s Promise.

My song is about loyalty and justice,
and I sing it to you, O Lord.

2 My conduct will be faultless.
When will you come to me?
I will live a pure life in my house

3 and will never tolerate evil.
I hate the actions of those who turn away from God;
I will have nothing to do with them.

4 I will not be dishonest
and will have no dealings with evil.

5 I will get rid of anyone
who whispers evil things about someone else;
I will not tolerate anyone
who is proud and arrogant.

6 I will approve of those who are faithful to God
and will let them live in my palace.
Those who are completely honest
will be allowed to serve me.

7 No liar will live in my palace;
no hypocrite will remain in my presence.
