Psalm 101:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 The faithful in the land are the ones
whom I will choose to be my companions.
Only the one who follows the path of integrity
will be allowed to be my servant.
7 No one who practices deceit
will be permitted to remain in my house.
No one who utters lies
will be numbered among my companions.[a]
8 Morning after morning[b] I will banish
all the wicked from the land,
removing all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
