1 | (Psalm 101 A Psalm of David.)I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises. |
2 | I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. |
3 | I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me. |
4 | A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing. |
5 | Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. |
6 | Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me. |
7 | He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes. |
8 | Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah. |
