Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, O LORD, will I sing.

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

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

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 will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

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 froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

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

5 Whoever privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

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

6 My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve 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 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practice wickedness from the city of the LORD.

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.
