1 (100-1) <A psalm for David himself.> Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,
2 (100-2) And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

7 (100-7) 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 (100-8) 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.
