Psalms 101

1 A Psalm. Of David. I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.

`The salm of Dauid. Lord, Y schal synge to thee; merci and doom.

2 I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

I schal synge, and Y schal vndurstonde in a weie with out wem; whanne thou schalt come to me. I yede perfitli in the innocence of myn herte; in the myddil of myn hous.

3 I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

I settide not forth bifore myn iyen an vniust thing; Y hatide hem that maden trespassyngis.

4 The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.

A schrewide herte cleuede not to me; Y knewe not a wickid man bowynge awei fro me.

5 I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

I pursuede hym; that bacbitide priueli his neiybore. With the proude iye and an herte vnable to be fillid; Y eet not with this.

6 My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.

Myn iyen weren to the feithful men of erthe, that thei sitte with me; he that yede in a weie with out wem, mynystride to me.

7 The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.

He that doith pride, schal not dwelle in the myddil of myn hous; he that spekith wickid thingis, seruede not in the siyt of myn iyen.

8 Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.

In the morutid Y killide alle the synners of erthe; that Y schulde leese fro the citee of the Lord alle men worchynge wickidnesse.
