Psalms 101

1 I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises. 2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me. 4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not know wickedness. 5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure. 6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a perfect way,
He shall serve me. 7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. 8 Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
