Psalms 101

The editions here place the boundary between some verses of this chapter at different clauses, so a citation can land beside the wrong sentence.

The prophet exhorteth all by his example, to follow mercy and justice.

Misericordiam et judicium.

1 A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing, 2 And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house. 3 I will not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities. 4 The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know. 5 The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat. 6 My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me. 7 He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes. 8 In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
