King James Version

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 101

  

The Righteous Declaration of a Godly King

A Psalm of David.

1will 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.
