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
David wrote this psalm.
The king's song #101:1 David promises to serve God and to rule his people well.
1I will sing and praise you, Lord!
I will sing about your faithful love and your justice. #101:1 ‘Faithful love’ is the love that God has for his own people.
2I will be careful to live in a completely good way.
When will you come to help me, Lord?
In my own home,
I will always be completely honest.
3As for evil things,
I will not even think about them.
I hate the things that wicked people do.
They will not be my friends.
4I will keep away from people with wrong thoughts.
I will not mix with them.
5If anyone secretly speaks against his friend,
I will destroy them.
If anyone is proud and they boast about themselves,
I will send them away from me.
6Instead, I will work with people
that I can trust.
I will let them live with me and be my guides.
My servants will be people
who live in an honest way.
7People who deceive others or who tell lies
will not have a place in my home.
8Every morning I will remove
any wicked person who lives in our land. #101:8 Every morning probably means the time when David judged people. He decided whether they deserved punishment.
Nobody who does evil things
will remain in the city of the Lord.
