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.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 101
1A Psalme of David. I will sing mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing. 2I will doe wisely in the perfite way, till thou commest to me: I will walke in the vprightnes of mine heart in the middes of mine house. 3I wil set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that fall away: it shall not cleaue vnto me. 4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill. 5Him that priuily slandereth his neighbour, wil I destroy: him that hath a proude looke and hie heart, I cannot suffer. 6Mine eyes shalbe vnto the faithfull of the lande, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfite way, he shall serue me. 7There shall no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight. 8Betimes will I destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquitie from the Citie of the Lord.
