Psalm 100

The prophet exhorteth all, by his example, to follow mercy and justice.

1. 1

   A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing, I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

2. 2

   And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me.

3. 3

   I will not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

4. 4

   The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

5. 5

   The man that in private detracted his neighbor, him did I persecute.

6. 6

   My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

7. 7

   He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

8. 8

   In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
