 101:1 ¶
[[A Psalmº

I will singºº
of mercyº
and judgment:º
unto thee, O Yahweh,º
will I sing.ºº |
 101:2
and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house. |
 101:2
I will behave myself wiselyºº
in a perfectº
way.º
O whenº
wilt thou comeºº
untoº
me? I will walkºº
withinº
my houseº
with a perfectº
heart.º |
 101:3
I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors. |
 101:3
I will setºº
noº
wickedº
thingº
beforeº
mine eyes:º
I hateºº
the workºº
of them that turn aside;º
[it] shall notº
cleaveºº
to me. |
 101:4
A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me. |
 101:4
A frowardº
heartº
shall departºº
fromº
me: I will notº
knowºº
a wickedº
[person]. |
 101:5
Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart,-- with him I have not eaten. |
 101:5
Whoso privilyº
slanderethºººº
his neighbour,º
him will I cut off:ºº
him that hath an highº
lookº
and a proudº
heartº
will notº
I suffer.ºº |
 101:6
Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me. |
 101:6
Mine eyesº
[shall be] upon the faithfulºº
of the land,º

withº
me: he that walkethºº
in a perfectº
way,º
heº
shall serveºº
me. |
 101:7
The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight. |
 101:7
He that workethºº
deceitº
shall notº
dwellºº
withinº
my house:º
he that tellethºº
liesº
shall notº
tarryºº
inº
my sight.º |
 101:8
Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity. |
 101:8
I will earlyº
destroyºº
allº
the wickedº
of the land;º
that I may cut offºº
allº
wickedº
doersºº
from the cityºº
of Yahweh.º |
