Psalms 101:3

101:3 I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. 1 

I hate doing evil; 2 

I will have no part of it. 3 

1 tn Heb “I will not set before my eyes a thing of worthlessness.”

2 tn Heb “the doing of swerving [deeds] I hate.” The Hebrew term סֵטִים (setim) is probably an alternate spelling of שֵׂטִים (setim), which appears in many medieval Hebrew mss. The form appears to be derived from a verbal root שׂוּט (sut, “to fall away; to swerve”; see Ps 40:4).

3 tn Heb “it [i.e., the doing of evil deeds] does not cling to me.”
