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.

Psalm 101
101
A Pledge to Live Righteously
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of mercy and judgment:
unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
O when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:
I hate the work of them that turn aside;
it shall not cleave to me.
4A froward heart shall depart from me:
I will not know a wicked person.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off:
him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
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 serve me.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;
that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
