Psalms 101

Thomson(i) 1 A Psalm by David. I Will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, Lord, I will tune my lyre. 2 I will conduct myself wisely in a perfect way; when wilt thou come to me? I have walked in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my household. 3 I have not set any wicked thing before mine eyes: them who commit transgressions I detested. 4 A perverse heart hath not cleaved to me. When the wicked withdrew from me; I no more acknowledged him. 5 Him, who privily slandered his neighbour, I expelled. With one of a haughty eye and unsatiable heart I would not eat. 6 Mine eyes have been on the faithful of the land; that they might dwell with me. He who walked in a perfect way, hath been employed in my service. 7 He who practised haughtiness found no abode in my family. He who spoke unjustly was not right in mine eyes. 8 I took the earliest occasion to destroy all the sinners of the land; to root out of the city of the Lord all the workers of iniquity.
