Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

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

2 I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my 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 mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto 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 Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

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

6 Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto 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 that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

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

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

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.
