PSALM 101

Mercy and Judgment

A psalm to David.

1 About mercy and judgment I shall sing to you, O lord. 2 I shall strum, and I shall perceive in [²way ¹an unblemished]. When shall you come to me? I traveled in the innocence of my heart; in the midst of my house. 3 I did not set before my eyes [²thing ¹an illegal]; [²ones committing ³violations ¹I detested]. 4 [³cleaved not ⁴to me ²heart ¹A crooked], turning aside from me, the wicked man I knew not. 5 The one speaking ill in private of the ones near him -- this one I drove out. Proud eye and insatiable heart -- with this one I ate not. 6 My eyes are upon the trustworthy of the land, for them to sit together with me, going in [²way ¹an unblemished]. This one officiated to me. 7 [³dwelt not ⁴in ⁵the midst ⁶of my house ¹one having ²pride]. One speaking unjust did not conduct anything before my eyes. 8 Into the morning I killed all the sinners of the land; to utterly destroy from out of the city of the lord all the ones practicing lawlessness.
