The Psalms

Psalm 101

A Psalm of David.

 ^101:1I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:

 Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.

 ^101:2I 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.

 ^101:3I will set no base thing before mine eyes:

 I hate the work of them that turn aside;

 It shall not cleave unto me.

 ^101:4A perverse heart shall depart from me:

 I will know no evil thing.

 ^101:5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:

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

 ^101:6Mine 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.

 ^101:7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:

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

 ^101:8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;

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