Psalms 101

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Of David Psalm] I wil sing of faithful love and judgement; to you, Yahweh, will I make music.	1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2 I wil go forward in the path of the blameless; when will you come to me? I wil live in purity of heart, inmy house,	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.
3 I wil not set before my eyes anything sordid. I hate those who act crookedly; this has no attraction forme.	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.
4 Let the perverse of heart keep away from me; the wicked I disregard.	4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 One who secretly slanders a comrade, I reduce to silence; haughty looks, proud heart, these I cannotabide.	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 I look to the faithful of the land to be my companions, only he who walks in the path of the blamelessshall be my servant.	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 There is no room in my house for anyone who practises deceit; no liar wil stand his ground where Ican see him.	7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 Morning after morning I reduce to silence al the wicked in the land, banishing from the city ofYahweh al evil-doers.	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.
