Psalms 101

1 `The salm of Dauid. Lord, Y schal synge to thee; merci and doom.

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

2 I schal synge, and Y schal vndurstonde in a weie with out wem; whanne thou schalt come to me. I yede perfitli in the innocence of myn herte; in the myddil of myn hous.

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.

3 I settide not forth bifore myn iyen an vniust thing; Y hatide hem that maden trespassyngis.

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

4 A schrewide herte cleuede not to me; Y knewe not a wickid man bowynge awei fro me.

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

5 I pursuede hym; that bacbitide priueli his neiybore. With the proude iye and an herte vnable to be fillid; Y eet not with this.

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

6 Myn iyen weren to the feithful men of erthe, that thei sitte with me; he that yede in a weie with out wem, mynystride to me.

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.

7 He that doith pride, schal not dwelle in the myddil of myn hous; he that spekith wickid thingis, seruede not in the siyt of myn iyen.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8 In the morutid Y killide alle the synners of erthe; that Y schulde leese fro the citee of the Lord alle men worchynge wickidnesse.

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.
