Psalms 101

Verse 1. 1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. Verse 2. 2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. Verse 3. 3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. Verse 4. 4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Verse 5. 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Verse 6. 6 Mine 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.

Verse 7. 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Verse 8. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
