< Psalms 101 >
1 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.
A Psalme of David. I will sing mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity 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 set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not 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 perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill.
5 Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
Him that priuily slandereth his neighbour, wil I destroy: him that hath a proude looke and hie heart, I cannot suffer.
6 Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth 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 dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.
There shall no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight.
8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of 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.
