Psalms

101

The Message

1 My theme song is God's love and justice, and I'm singing it right to you, God.

2 but how long before you show up? I'm doing the very best I can, and I'm doing it at home, where it counts.

3 at corrupting people and degrading things. I reject made-in-Canaan gods, stay clear of contamination.

4 I refuse to shake hands with those who plan evil.

5 who bad-mouths his neighbor; I can't stand arrogance.

6 they're the ones I want working with me; Men and women on the straight and narrow— these are the ones I want at my side.

7 gets a job with me; I have no patience with liars. I've rounded up all the wicked like cattle and herded them right out of the country.

8 of all who make a business of evil.
