Psalms

I will destroy all the wicked

101:1-8

A Psalm of David.

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

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.

I'll behave in a perfect way,

and walk with a perfect 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.

I'll see no wicked thing.

I hate the work of those who turn aside.

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

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.

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.

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

I won't know any wicked people.

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

I'll destroy all the wicked people in the land.
