King James Version

Psalms • Chapter 101

1 A psalm of David: I will sing of mercy and justice; to You, O Lord, I will sing. 2 I will understand in the way of the upright; when will you come to me? I will walk with a perfect heart in the midst of my house. 3 I will not put before my eyes any worthless thing; I hate the work of those who turn aside; it shall not cling to me. 4 A crooked heart will turn away from me; I will not know evil. 5 I am a slanderer in secret of my friend; I will not be able to withstand his high eyes and broad heart. 6 My eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 7 No one who works deceit shall dwell in my house; he who speaks falsehood shall not be established before my eyes. 8 I will destroy all the wicked of the earth to cut off from the city of the LORD all the doers of iniquity.
