Psalms 101

Psalms 101:1

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

O Lord, I will celebrate both thy mercy in blessing and forgiving thy people, and thy judgment in avenging thine enemies; and I will withal imitate thee in both, labouring to rule thy people both wisely and justly.

Psalms 101:2

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I have vowed unto myself a holy and strict obedience and wise carriage before thee, in all my actions; that when thou shalt come to take an account of me, as I do unfeignedly desire thou shouldest, I may be well approved for my true sincerity of heart and life, in thy presence.

Psalms 101:8

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

I will roundly set myself to purge the land of all notorious offenders: and will endeavour that the Church of God may be freed from those wicked ones, which are a burden and a slander unto it.
