Psalm 101. Misericordiam et judicium.

1. MY song shall be of mercy and judgment; *
   unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2. O let me have understanding *
   in the way of godliness!
3. When wilt thou come unto me? *
   I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.
4. I will take no wicked thing in hand; I hate the sins of unfaithfulness; *
   there shall no such cleave unto me.
5. A froward heart shall depart from me; *
   I will not know a wicked person.
6. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, *
   him will I destroy.
7. Whoso hath also a haughty look and a proud heart, *
   I will not suffer him.
8. Mine eyes look upon such as are faithful in the land, *
   that they may dwell with me.
9. Whoso leadeth a godly life, *
   he shall be my servant.
10. There shall no deceitful person dwell in my house; *
    he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
11. I shall soon destroy all the ungodly that are in the land; *
    that I may root out all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
