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
I Will Set No Worthless Thing before My Eyes
A Psalm of David.
1I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice;
to You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
2I will ponder the way that is blameless—
when will You come to me?
I will walk in my house
with integrity of heart.
3I will set no worthless thing
before my eyes.
I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall not cling to me.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will know nothing of evil.
5Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
I will put to silence;
the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart,
I will not endure.
6My eyes favor the faithful of the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in the way of integrity
shall minister to me.
7No one who practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who tells lies
shall stand in my presence.
8Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land,
that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord.
