< Psalms 101 >

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
Psalmus ipsi David. Misericordiam, et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine: Psallam,
2 I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.
et intelligam in via immaculata, quando venies ad me. Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.
3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.
Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam: facientes prævaricationes odivi. Non adhæsit mihi
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.
cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.
5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.
Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar. Superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.
6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.
Oculi mei ad fideles terræ ut sedeant mecum: ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.
7 No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.
Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam: qui loquitur iniqua, non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.
8 Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ: ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.
