Through My Bible – August 10

Psalm 101 (EHV)



See series: Through My Bible

¹ I will sing about your mercy and justice.

To you, O Lord, I will make music.

² I will act wisely, following the way that is honest.

When will you come to me?

Within my palace I will conduct myself with integrity. ^[1]

³ I will not tolerate an evil ^[2] cause in my sight.

I hate unfaithfulness and apostasy. ^[3]

It will not stick to me.

⁴ A perverted heart shall be kept far from me.

I will not acknowledge evil.

⁵ I will silence anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret.

I cannot tolerate anyone who has arrogant eyes and a proud heart.

⁶ My eyes will watch for the faithful in the land,

so that they can be seated with me.

Those who walk in the way of integrity will serve as my ministers.

⁷ Anyone who practices deceit will not sit inside my palace.

Anyone who is a liar will not stand in my sight.

⁸ Every morning I will silence all the wicked in the land,

in order to cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord.

2. Psalm 101:3 Or devilish. The Hebrew word is belial, which means without restraint or without worth. In late Hebrew it became a name of Satan.


3. Psalm 101:3 The meaning of the line is uncertain. It seems to read I hate doing of apostasies.
