Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
English Revised Version
Psalms 101
1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing praises. 2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto me. 4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing. 5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. 6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me. 7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes. 8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
