Psalm 101

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

A Psalm of David.

1 I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2 I will behave wisely in a 1perfect way.

Oh, when will You come to me?

I will awalk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set nothing 2wicked before my eyes;

bI hate the work of those cwho fall away;

It shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;

I will not dknow wickedness.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,

Him I will destroy;

eThe one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,

Him I will not endure.

6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,

That they may dwell with me;

He who walks in a 3perfect way,

He shall serve me.

7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;

He who tells lies shall not 4continue in my presence.

8 fEarly I will destroy all the wicked of the land,

That I may cut off all the evildoers gfrom the city of the Lord.

	About The New King James Version The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.
