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 song of David.
1I will sing about love and justice.
Lord, I will sing to you.
2I will be careful to live a pure life.
I will live in my house with complete honesty.
When will you come to me?
3I will not even look at anything shameful.#101:3 anything shameful Or “an idol.”
I hate all wrongdoing.
I want no part of it!
4I will not be involved in anything dishonest.
I will have nothing to do with evil.
5I will stop anyone who secretly
says bad things about a neighbor.
I will not allow people to be proud
and think they are better than others.
6I will look throughout the land for those who can be trusted.
Only such people can live with me.
Only those who live pure lives can be my servants.
7I will never let a dishonest person live in my house.
I will not let liars stay near me.
8My goal each day will be to destroy the wicked living in our land.
I will force all who do evil to leave the city of the Lord.
