Psalms 101

1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

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

1 I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.

2I 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.

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.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

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

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

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

4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

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

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

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

5 Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, 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 serve me.

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.

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.

7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

7 He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.

8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

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.

8 Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
