Pledge of Integrity

Psalm 101

A psalm of David.
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice.
To You, Adonai, I will sing praises.
I will behave wisely in the way of integrity
—when will You come to me?
I walk in my house with integrity in my heart.
No base thing will I set before my eyes.
Twisted behavior I hate—it will not cling to me.
A perverse heart will depart from me.
I will know nothing evil.
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret
—him I will silence.
Who has haughty eyes and a proud heart
—him I will not tolerate.
My eyes are on the trustworthy of the land,
to be in my company.
One walking in a blameless way will serve me.
No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house.
No one who utters lies will endure before my eyes.
Each morning I silence all the land’s wicked ones—
to cut off from Adonai’s city every evildoer.

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

I will sing of your love(A) and justice;
    to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
I will be careful to lead a blameless life(B)
    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs(C) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.(D)

I hate what faithless people do;(E)
    I will have no part in it.
The perverse of heart(F) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor(G) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(H) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(I)
    will minister to me.

No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

Every morning(J) I will put to silence
    all the wicked(K) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(L)
    from the city of the Lord.(M)
