Psalm 101

Revised Geneva Translation

101 I will sing mercy and judgment. To You, O LORD, I will sing!

² I will do wisely in the perfect way, till You come to me. I will walk in the uprightness of my heart in the midst of my house.

³ I will set no wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away. It shall not cling to me.

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

⁵ He who secretly slanders his neighbor, I will destroy. He who has a proud look and high heart, I cannot allow.

⁶ My eyes shall be to the faithful of the land, so that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

⁷ No deceitful person shall dwell within my house. He who tells lies shall not remain in my sight.

⁸ Early will I destroy all the wicked of the land, so that I may cut off all the workers of iniquity from the City of the LORD. A prayer of the afflicted, when he shall be in distress and pour forth his meditation before the LORD
