Psalms 101

David sings praises to YHWH for steadfast love (*chesed*) and justice, vowing to walk blamelessly in his house and reject worthless (*belial*) things, perverse hearts, slanderers, and the arrogant.[1][3] He resolves to favor the faithful of the land to dwell with him, exclude deceivers and liars from his presence, and daily destroy the wicked from the city of YHWH.[1][3]
