PSALM 101
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1I mercy will and judgment sing,
Lord, I will sing to thee.
2With wisdom in a perfect way
shall my behaviour be.
O when, in kindness unto me,
wilt thou be pleas'd to come?
I with a perfect heart will walk
within my house at home.
3I will endure no wicked thing
before mine eyes to be:
I hate their work that turn aside,
it shall not cleave to me.
4A stubborn and a froward heart
depart quite from me shall;
A person giv'n to wickedness
I will not know at all.
5I'll cut him off that slandereth
his neighbour privily:
The haughty heart I will not bear,
nor him that looketh high.
6Upon the faithful of the land
mine eyes shall be, that they
May dwell with me: he shall me serve
that walks in perfect way.
7Who of deceit a worker is
in my house shall not dwell;
And in my presence shall he not
remain that lies doth tell.
8Yea, all the wicked of the land
early destroy will I;
All from God's city to cut off
that work iniquity.

Psalms 101
101
A psalm of David.
1I will sing of your love and justice, Lord.
I will praise you with songs.
2I will be careful to live a blameless life—
when will you come to help me?
I will lead a life of integrity
in my own home.
3I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil.
5I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.
I will not endure conceit and pride.
6I will search for faithful people
to be my companions.
Only those who are above reproach
will be allowed to serve me.
7I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,
and liars will not stay in my presence.
8My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked
and free the city of the Lord from their grip.
