Psalm 101
|
|
| 101:1
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. |
|
| 101:2
I 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. |
|
| 101:3
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that
turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. |
|
| 101:4
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. |
|
| 101:5
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath
an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. |
"He who acts proudly shall not dwell
in within my house" (Unknown, 12th Century)
|
| 101:6
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.
|
| 101:7
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth
lies shall not tarry in my sight.
|
| 101:8 I will early
destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all
wicked doers from the city of the LORD. |
(101:8) "I will ... destroy all the wicked of the land."
