Psalm 101. Misericordiam et judicium.

1. I will sing of mercy and justice; *
   to you, O Lord, will I sing praises.
2. I will strive to follow a blameless course; oh, when will you come to me? *
   I will walk with sincerity of heart within my house.
3. I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; *
   I hate the doers of evil deeds; they shall not remain with me.
4. A crooked heart shall be far from me; *
   I will not know evil.
5. Those who in secret slander their neighbors I will destroy; *
   those who have a haughty look and a proud heart I cannot abide.
6. My eyes are upon the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me, *
   and only those who lead a blameless life shall be my servants.
7. Those who act deceitfully shall not dwell in my house, *
   and those who tell lies shall not continue in my sight.
8. I will soon destroy all the wicked in the land, *
   that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
