Psalmi 101

1 Davidov. Psalam. Da zapjevam o dobroti i pravdi, tebi, Jahve, da zasviram!

I will sing of chesed ·loving-kindness· and mishpat ·justice·. To you, Adonai, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise·.

2 Razmatrat ću put savršenstva: kad li ćeš k meni doći? Hodit ću u nedužnosti srca u domu svojemu.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 Neću stavljati pred oči svoje ništa opako. Mrzim čovjeka koji čini zlo: on neće biti uza me.

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4 Opako će srce biti daleko od mene; o zlu neću da znadem.

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 Tko kleveće bližnjeg u potaji, toga ću pogubiti. Čovjeka oholih očiju i srca naduta ja ne podnosim.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

6 Pogled upravljam k vjernima na zemlji da sa mnom stanuju. Tko hodi putem nedužnim taj će mi služiti.

My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

7 Neće prebivati u kući mojoj tko spletke snuje. Tko govori laži, neće opstati pred mojim očima.

He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

8 Svaki ću dan istrebljivati sve zlikovce u zemlji; iskorijenit ću iz grada Jahvina sve koji čine bezakonje.

Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of vain striving of iniquity from Adonai’s city.
