Psalm 101:1-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. I will sing about your love and fairness. Lord, I will sing praise to you.

2. I will be careful to lead a life that is without blame. When will you come and help me? I will lead a life that is without blame in my house.

3. I won't look at anything that is evil. I hate the acts of people who aren't faithful to you. I don't even want people like that around me.

4. I will stay away from those whose hearts are twisted. I don't want to have anything to do with evil.

5. I will get rid of anyone who tells lies about his neighbor in secret. I won't put up with anyone whose eyes and heart are proud.

6. I will look with favor on the faithful people in the land. They will live with me. Those whose lives are without blame will serve me.
