God's New Revelations

The Book of Psalms

King James Version 1769 including Apocrypha

- Chapter 101 -

I will set nothing worthless before my eyes

1
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord , will I sing.
2
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.
3
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)
4
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6
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)
7
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.(c)
8
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord .
