Psalms 101

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

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

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 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.

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

I wil set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that fall away: it shall not cleaue vnto 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 froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill.

5 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
