Psalms 101

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

A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

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.

And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

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 not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

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

The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

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

The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

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 looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

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

He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

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.

In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
