Chapter 100

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

1. 1

   A psalm for David himself.

2. 3

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

3. 4

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

4. 5

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.
