Psalm 101 - Matthew's Bible 1537

¹ A Psalme of Dauid. My songe shalbe of mercye and iudgment yea vnto the, O Lord wyll I synge.

² O let me haue vnderstandynge in the way of Godlynesse vntyll the tyme that thou come vnto me: and so shall I walcke in my house wyth an innocent herte.

³ I wyl take no wycked thynge in hande, I hate the synne of vnfaythfulnesse, it shal not cleaue vnto me.

⁴ A frowarde harte shall departe fro me I wyll not knowe a wicked personne.

⁵ Who so preuely sclaundereth hys neyghboure. hym wyl I destroye: Who so hath a prowd loke and an hye stomacke, I may not awaye with him.

⁶ Myne eyes shal loke for such as be faythfull in the lande, that they maye dwell wyth me: and who so leadeth a godly liue, shall be my seruaunt.

⁷ There shall no disceatfull personne dwell in my house he that telleth lyes shall not tary in my syght.

⁸ I shalll soone destroye all the vngodlie of the lande, that all wycked doers maye be roted out of the cytie of the Lord.
