Psalms 101

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

Salmo de David. MISERICORDIA y juicio cantaré: á ti cantaré yo, oh Jehová.

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.

Entenderé en el camino de la perfección cuando vinieres á mí: en integridad de mi corazón andaré en medio de mi casa.

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

No pondré delante de mis ojos cosa injusta: aborrezco la obra de los que se desvían: ninguno [de ellos] se allegará á mí.

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

Corazón perverso se apartará de mí; no conoceré al malvado.

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.

Al que solapadamente infama á su prójimo, yo le cortaré; no sufriré al de ojos altaneros, y de corazón vanidoso.

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 [pondré] en los fieles de la tierra, para que estén conmigo: el que anduviere en el camino de la perfección, éste 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.

No habitará dentro de mi casa el que hace fraude: el que habla mentiras no se afirmará delante de 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.

Por las mañanas cortaré á todos los impíos de la tierra; para extirpar de la ciudad de Jehová á todos los que obraren iniquidad.
