Psalm 101
or Coverdale
Misericordiam et judicium

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