Scripture Reading, Psalm 101:1-8, August 20, 2023
(1) I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, To You, O Yahweh, I will sing praises.
(2) I will consider the way of the blameless. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
(3) I will set no vile thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.
(4) A crooked heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil.
(5) Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart, I will not endure.
(6) My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me; He who walks in the way of the blameless is the one who will minister to me.
(7) He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks lies shall not be established before my eyes.
(8) Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Yahweh all the workers of iniquity.
