Psalms 101

1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To thee, O Jehovah, I will sing praises.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,

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

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 I will set no base thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who turn aside. It shall not cleave to me.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me. I will know no evil thing.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 He who slanders his neighbor secretly, him I will destroy. He who has a high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he shall minister to me.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood shall not be established before my eyes.

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
