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 King's Promise#Ps 101 Hebrew title: A psalm by David.
1My song is about loyalty and justice,
and I sing it to you, O LORD.
2My conduct will be faultless.
When will you come to me?
I will live a pure life in my house,
3and will never tolerate evil.
I hate the actions of those who turn away from God;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4I will not be dishonest,#101.4 not be dishonest; or stay away from dishonest people.
and will have no dealings with evil.#101.4 evil; or evil people.
5I will get rid of anyone
who whispers evil things about someone else;
I will not tolerate anyone
who is proud and arrogant.
6I will approve of those who are faithful to God
and will let them live in my palace.
Those who are completely honest
will be allowed to serve me.
7No liar will live in my palace;
no hypocrite will remain in my presence.
8Day after day I will destroy
the wicked in our land;
I will expel all who are evil
from the city of the LORD.
