Listen from:
A Psalm of David.
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Jehovah, 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 froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, 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.
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of Jehovah.
The principles of rule.
101:1 Mercy and judgment shall be my song; 2 Jehovah, come to me, in my house; I will walk, with a perfect heart, 3-8 evil banished, the faithful upheld in the land and city.
