Psalms 101
A king's vow, spoken in the first person: "I will sing of loving kindness and justice" (v. 1), then a string of resolutions about how he will govern his own house and court. He pledges a blameless walk and to set "no vile thing" before his eyes (vv. 2-3). Notice the policy turns concrete: he will silence the secret slanderer, refuse the arrogant, and seek out "the faithful of the land" as his companions (vv. 5-6).
- 1
I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.
- 2
I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
- 3
I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
- 4
A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
- 5
I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.
- 6
My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
- 7
He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.
- 8
Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
- 1
Salmo de David. MISERICORDIA y juicio cantaré: á ti cantaré yo, oh Jehová.
- 2
Entenderé en el camino de la perfección cuando vinieres á mí: en integridad de mi corazón andaré en medio de mi casa.
- 3
No pondré delante de mis ojos cosa injusta: aborrezco la obra de los que se desvían: ninguno de ellos se allegará á mí.
- 4
Corazón perverso se apartará de mí; no conoceré al malvado.
- 5
Al que solapadamente infama á su prójimo, yo le cortaré; no sufriré al de ojos altaneros, y de corazón vanidoso.
- 6
Mis ojos pondré en los fieles de la tierra, para que estén conmigo: el que anduviere en el camino de la perfección, éste me servirá.
- 7
No habitará dentro de mi casa el que hace fraude: el que habla mentiras no se afirmará delante de mis ojos.
- 8
Por las mañanas cortaré á todos los impíos de la tierra; para extirpar de la ciudad de Jehová á todos los que obraren iniquidad.
A loyalty audit of the household
The psalm is essentially a hiring code. Those who practice deceit or speak falsehood "won't dwell within my house" (v. 7); the faithful get a seat at the table. Character, not status, decides who stays.
The startling close (v. 8) extends this daily — "morning by morning" he purges the wicked from "the LORD's city," framing the king as a steward of God's own justice.
