Psalms 100

1A Psalm of David.

I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment;

I will sing a psalm, 2and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me?

I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful thing;

I have hated transgressors.

4A perverse heart has not cloven 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.

6Mine 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 dwelt not in the midst of my house;

The unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8Early did I slay all the sinners of the land,

That I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
