Psalms 101
David vows to live a life of integrity and justice, refusing to tolerate wickedness or deceit in his presence. He rejects those who betray others and has no association with the arrogant or malicious. David seeks the company of the faithful and the upright, and he actively works to remove sinners and workers of iniquity from his midst.
A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalmsAnd I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my houseI will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayalsThe perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognizeThe one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eatMy eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to meHe who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyesIn the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord
