Salme 101

1 Om Miskundhed og Ret vil jeg synge, for dig, Herre! vil jeg spille.

A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

2 Jeg vil agte paa Fuldkommenhedens Vej; naar vil du dog komme til mig? jeg vil vandre i mit Hjertes Retsind inden mit Hus.

And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Jeg vil ikke sætte mig en Niddingsdaad for Øje; jeg hader det, Overtrædere begaa, det skal ikke hænge ved mig.

I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

4 Et forvendt Hjerte skal vige fra mig, jeg vil ikke vide af den onde.

The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

5 Den, som bagtaler sin Næste i Løndom, ham vil jeg udslette; den, som ser højt med Øjnene og har et stolt Hjerte, ham vil jeg ikke fordrage.

The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

6 Mine Øjne se efter de trofaste i Landet, for at de skulle bo hos mig; den, som vandrer paa Fuldkommenhedens Vej, han skal tjene mig.

My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

7 Den, som gør Svig, skal ikke blive inden i mit Hus; den, som taler Løgn, skal ikke bestaa for mine Øjne.

He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

8 Aarle vil jeg udslette alle ugudelige i Landet for at skille Herrens Stad af med alle dem, som gøre Uret.

In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
