Psalm 101
New King James Version

Promised Faithfulness to theLord

A Psalm of David.

101 I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, OLord, I will sing praises.

²I will behave wisely in a^[a]perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will^(A)walk within my house with a perfect heart.

³I will set nothing^[b]wicked before my eyes;
^(B)I hate the work of those^(C)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
⁴A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not^(D)know wickedness.

⁵Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
^(E)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

⁶My eyesshall beon the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a^[c]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
⁷He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not^[d]continue in my presence.
⁸^(F)Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers^(G)from the city of theLord.
