Psalm 100

(101) A Psalm of David.

1I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

2and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3I have not set before my eyes any unlawful thing; I have hated transgressors.

4A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from me: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
