Psalms 101

1 A Psalm. Of David. I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.

Psalmus ipsi David. [Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,

2 I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

et intelligam in via immaculata: quando venies ad me? Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.

3 I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi

4 The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.

cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar: superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.

6 My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.

Oculi mei ad fideles terræ, ut sedeant mecum; ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.

7 The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.

Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam; qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.

8 Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.

In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ, ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.]
