| Chapter 101 |
1 |
I will sing of lovingkindness and justice: Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
|
2 |
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
|
3 |
I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.
|
4 |
A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.
|
5 |
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not 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 minister unto me.
|
7 |
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
|
8 |
Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah. Psalm 102 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
