< 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. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.
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.
I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity 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 set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.
4 The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.
A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.
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.
Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
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 are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth 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.
He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.
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.
At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
