I will sing of mercy and justice;

Oh, when will You come to me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.

Psa 101:4A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not know wickedness.

Him I will destroy;
The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

Psa 101:6

Psa 101:6My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a perfect way,
He shall serve me.

He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.

That I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.
