Psalm 101
Misericordiam et judicium
1 MY SONG shall be of mercy and judgement * unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 O let me have understanding * in the way of godliness.
3 When wilt thou come unto me * I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.
4 I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins of unfaithfulness * there shall no such cleave unto me.
5 A froward heart shall depart from me * I will not know a wicked person.
6 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour * him will I destroy.
7 Whoso hath also a proud look and high stomach * I will not suffer him.
8 Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful in the land * that they may dwell with me.
9 Whoso leadeth a godly life * he shall be my servant.
10 There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house * he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
11 I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land * that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
