Psalm 101 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

Promised Faithfulness to the LORD
Psa 101:1A Psalm of David.

I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
Psa 101:2I will behave wisely in a perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
Psa 101:3I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;
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.
Psa 101:5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.
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.
Psa 101:7He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.
Psa 101:8Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.
