Psalms, Chapter 101

1. A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment; to You O Jehovah, I will sing praise.    2. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way; O when will You come to me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.    3. I will set no wicked thing before my eyes; I have hated the work of those who turn aside; it shall not fasten upon me.    4. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.    5. Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, I will cut him off; I will not endure him who has high eyes and a proud heart.    6. My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, so that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way shall serve me.    7. He who works falsely shall not live inside my house; he who speaks lies shall not be established before my eyes.    8. In the mornings I will cut off all the wicked of the land, so that I may cut off all the evil workers from the city of Jehovah.
