Psalm 101

A Psalm of David.

1  I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

2  I will abehave myself wisely in a perfect way. O bwhen wilt thou come unto me?

I will cwalk within my house with cda perfect heart.

3  I will set no †wicked thing before mine eyes:

eI hate the work of fthem that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4  gA froward heart shall depart from me: I will not hknow a wicked person.

5  Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I icut off:

Him that hath kan high look and la proud heart mwill not I suffer.

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

He that walketh ||nin a perfect way, he shall serve me.

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

He that telleth lies †shall not tarry in my sight.

8  I will pearly idestroy all the wicked of the land;

That I may cut off all qwicked doers from rthe city of the Lord.
