Psalms 101

1 A Psalme of David. I will sing mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2 I will doe wisely in the perfite way, till thou commest to me: I will walke in the vprightnes of mine heart in the middes of mine house.

I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

3 I wil set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that fall away: it shall not cleaue vnto me.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

5 Him that priuily slandereth his neighbour, wil I destroy: him that hath a proude looke and hie heart, I cannot suffer.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

6 Mine eyes shalbe vnto the faithfull of the lande, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfite way, he shall serue me.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

7 There shall no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

8 Betimes will I destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquitie from the Citie of the Lord.

Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
