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.

101
Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
1Oh, let me sing about faithful love and justice!
I want to sing my praises to you, LORD!
2I want to study the way of integrity—
how long before it gets here?
I will walk with a heart of integrity
in my own house.
3I won’t set my eyes on anything worthless.
I hate wrongdoing;
none of that will stick to me.
4A corrupt heart will be far from me.
I won’t be familiar with evil.
5I will destroy anyone
who secretly tells lies about a neighbor.
I can’t stomach anyone
who has proud eyes or an arrogant heart.
6My eyes focus on those
who are faithful in the land,
to have them close to me.
The person who walks without blame
will work for me.
7But the person who acts deceitfully
won’t stay in my house.
The person who tells lies
won’t last for long before me.
8Every morning I will destroy
all those who are wicked in the land
in order to eliminate all evildoers
from the LORD’s city.
