Psalm 101 - Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

¹ To David a chanting. Mercy and judgment will I sing to thee, O Jehovah: I will play on the harp.

² I will be prudent in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I will go about in integrity of heart in the midst of my house.

³ I will not set a word of Belial before mine eyes: I hated him doing transgressions; he shall not cleave to me.

⁴ A heart of oppression shall depart from me: I shall not know evil.

⁵ Slandering his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off: him being lofty of eyes and broad of heart, with him I will not eat

⁶ Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the earth, to dwell with me: he walking in a blameless way, he shall serve me.

⁷ He doing deceit shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he speaking falsehoods shall not be prepared before mine eyes.

⁸ For the mornings I will destroy all the unjust of the land; to cut off from the city of Jehovah all doing iniquity.
