Isaac Watts - Psalm 101Isaac Watts - Psalm 101
Work rating: Low


A Psalm for a master of a family. Of justice and of grace I sing, And pay my God my vows; Thy grace and justice, heav`nly King, Teach me to rule my house. Now to my tent, O God, repair, And make thy servant wise; I`ll suffer nothing near me there That shall offend thine eyes. The man that doth his neighbor wrong By falsehood or by force, The scornful eye, the sland`rous tongue I`ll thrust them from my doors. I`ll seek the faithful and the just, And will their help enjoy; These are the friends that I shall trust, The servants I`ll employ. The wretch that deals in sly deceit I`ll not endure a night: The liar`s tongue I ever hate, And banish from my sight. I`ll purge my family around, And make the wicked flee; So shall my house be ever found A dwelling fit for thee.
