Psalms 101
1I WILL sing of mercy and judgment: to Thee, O Lord, I will tune my lyre.
2I will conduct myself wisely in a perfect way; O when wilt Thou come to me? I have walked in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my household.
3I have not set any wicked thing before mine eyes: them who commit transgressions I detested.
4A perverse heart hath not cleaved to me. When the wicked withdrew from me; I no more acknowledged him.
5Him, who privily slandered his neighbour, I expelled. With one of a haughty eye and unsatiable heart I would not eat.
6Mine eyes have been on the faithful of the land; that they might dwell with me. He who walked in a perfect way, hath been employed in my service.
7He who practised haughtiness found no abode in my family. He who spoke unjustly was not right in mine eyes.
8I took the earliest occasion to destroy all the sinners of the land—to root out of the city of the Lord all the workers of iniquity.
