The Book of Psalms

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord , will I sing.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.(a)

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.(b)

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.(c)

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord .

(a)101:3 wicked…: Heb. thing of Belial
