Psalms 101

¹I will sing of mercy and judgement:

Unto thee, O LORD , will I sing praises

²I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way:

Oh when wilt thou come unto me?

I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

³I will set no base thing before mine eyes:

I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto me.

⁴A froward heart shall depart from me:

I will know no evil thing.

⁵Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy:

Him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

⁶Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:

He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

⁷He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:

He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

⁸Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;

To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD .
