Psalms 101

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 101 of 150

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment; to You O Jehovah, I will sing praise.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way; O when will You come to me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

3 I will not set a worthless thing before my eyes; I have hated the work of those who turn aside; it shall not fasten upon me.
