| Chapter 101 |
1 |
A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. --
|
2 |
I 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. --
|
3 |
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me. --
|
4 |
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person]. --
|
5 |
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I 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 serve me. --
|
7 |
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. --
|
8 |
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. --
