Psalm 101:1-8 A Psalm of David.
I will sing of mercy and judgment:unto thee,O LORD,will I sing. (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. (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.
(4) A froward heart shall depart from me:I will not know a wicked person. (5) Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor,him will I cut off:him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
(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. (7) He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. (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.
