Psalm 101

Misericordiam et judicium

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses

  1. 1

    I will sing of mercy and justice; *
    to you, O LORD, will I sing praises.

  2. 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. 3

    I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; *
    I hate the doers of evil deeds; they shall not remain with me.

  4. 4

    A crooked heart shall be far from me; *
    I will not know evil.

  5. 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. 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. 7

    Those who act deceitfully shall not dwell in my house, *
    and those who tell lies shall not continue in my sight.

  8. 8

    I will soon destroy all the wicked in the land, *
    that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the LORD.
