Psalms 101:2

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

A Psalm of David.

1 I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2 I will behave wisely in a¹ perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will ^awalk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set nothing¹ wicked before my eyes;
^aI hate the work of those ^bwho fall away;
It shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not ^aknow wickedness.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
^aThe one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a¹ perfect way,
He shall serve me.

7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not¹ continue in my presence.

8 ^aEarly I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers ^bfrom the city of the Lord.

In this Psalm the profession of the principles of his domestic and political government testifies, as well as actions in accordance with it, David's appreciation of God's mercy to him, and His judgment on his enemies: and thus he sings or celebrates God's dealings. (Psalms 101:1-8)

He avows his sincere purpose, by God's aid, to act uprightly (Genesis 17:1; Psalms 18:30).
