Psalms 101NCV

1I will sing of your love and fairness; Lord, I will sing praises to you.

2I will be careful to live an innocent life. When will you come to me? I will live an innocent life in my house.

3I will not look at anything wicked. I hate those who turn against you; they will not be found near me.

4Let those who want to do wrong stay away from me; I will have nothing to do with evil.

5If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor, I will stop him. I will not allow people to be proud and look down on others.

6I will look for trustworthy people so I can live with them in the land. Only those who live innocent lives will be my servants.

7No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will stay around me.

8Every morning I will destroy the wicked in the land. I will rid the Lord's city of people who do evil. A prayer of a person who is suffering when he is discouraged and tells the Lord his complaints.
