Psalms 101

Listen (KJV)

1I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.

2I 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.

3I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.

4A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

6Mine 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.

7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
