Psalms 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

2 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.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

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

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

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

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 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.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6 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.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 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.

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 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.

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
