PSALM CI. A Psalm of David.
1 OF Mercy and of Judgment both ‖ I will now make my Song; ‖ Unto Thee, O ETERNAL God, ‖ I will now sing a Psalm. ‖
2 I'll in a perfect way be wise; ‖ When wilt thou come to me? ‖ In the midst of my house I will ‖ walk with a perfect heart. ‖
3 I will not set before mine eyes ‖ a thing of Belial; ‖ I hate the work of wanderers: ‖ it shall not cleave to me. ‖
