Psalms 101




1.  <<A Psalm of David.>> I will sing * of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing * .

2.  I will behave myself wisely * in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come * unto me? I will walk * within my house with a perfect heart.

3.  I will set * no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate * the work * of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave * to me.

4.  A froward heart shall depart * from me: I will not know * a wicked person.

5.  Whoso privily slandereth * his neighbour, him will I cut off * : him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer * .

6.  Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful * of the land, that they may dwell * with me: he that walketh * in a perfect way,he shall serve * me.

7.  He that worketh * deceit shall not dwell * within my house: he that telleth * lies shall not tarry * in my sight.

8.  I will early destroy * all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off * all wicked doers * from the city of the LORD.
