# Psalm 101 (New King James Version)
Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

##### Chapter 101
###### 1 I will sing of mercy and justice;  
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

###### 2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way.  
Oh, when will You come to me?  
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

###### 3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;  
I hate the work of those who fall away;  
It shall not cling to me.  

###### 4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;  
I will not know wickedness.

###### 5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,  
Him I will destroy;  
The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,  
Him I will not endure.

###### 6 My eyes _shall be_ on the faithful of the land,  
That they may dwell with me;  
He who walks in a perfect way,  
He shall serve me.  

###### 7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;  
He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.  

###### 8 Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,  
That I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
