Purity and Justice

1 {A Psalm of David.} I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Commentary

Psalm 101 is a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining integrity in all areas of our lives. The psalmist recognizes that the company we keep and the choices we make have a significant impact on our character and our ability to live a life that is pleasing to God. He sets a high standard for himself, vowing to put an end to wickedness and deception while seeking out those who are faithful and trustworthy. The psalmist's commitment to justice and purity serves as an inspiration to others who strive to follow in his footsteps of righteousness. In today's world, where honesty and integrity are often undervalued, Psalm 101 reminds us that our actions and choices matter and that we must continually choose the path of righteousness in order to live a life that is worthy of God's approval.
