Promised Faithfulness to the Lord
A Psalm of David.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will awalk within my house with a perfect heart.
aI hate the work of those bwho fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
Him I will destroy;
aThe one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a1 perfect way,
He shall serve me.
He who tells lies shall not1 continue in my presence.
That I may cut off all the evildoers bfrom the city of the Lord.
| << Psalms 101:2 | Psalms 101:4 >> |
