Psalms 101

1 A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

Un salmo de David. Cantaré a la bondad amorosa y a la justicia. A ti, Yahvé, te cantaré alabanzas.

2 And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

Tendré cuidado de vivir una vida irreprochable. ¿Cuándo vas a venir a verme? Caminaré dentro de mi casa con un corazón irreprochable.

3 I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

No pondré ninguna cosa vil ante mis ojos. Odio los actos de los hombres sin fe. No se aferrarán a mí.

4 The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

Un corazón perverso estará lejos de mí. No tendré nada que ver con el mal.

5 The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

Yo silenciaré a quien calumnie en secreto a su prójimo. No toleraré a quien es arrogante y engreído.

6 My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

Mis ojos estarán sobre los fieles de la tierra, para que habiten conmigo. El que camina de manera perfecta, me servirá.

7 He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

El que practica el engaño no habitará en mi casa. El que habla con falsedad no será establecido ante mis ojos.

8 In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

Mañana tras mañana, destruiré a todos los malvados de la tierra, para cortar a todos los obreros de la iniquidad de la ciudad de Yahvé.
