Psalms 101

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

A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

2 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.

I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

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

I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

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

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

5 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.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

6 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.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

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

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

8 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.

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
