Psalms 101

1 A psalm of David. I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.

David psalmus misericordiam et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine psallam

2 I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.

et intellegam in via inmaculata quando venies ad me perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei in medio domus meae

3 I will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.

non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam facientes praevaricationes odivi non adhesit mihi

4 I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.

cor pravum declinante a me maligno non cognoscebam

5 I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

detrahentem secreto proximo suo hunc persequebar superbo oculo et insatiabili corde cum hoc non edebam

6 I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve me.

oculi mei ad fideles terrae ut sederent mecum ambulans in via inmaculata hic mihi ministrabat

7 No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.

non habitabat in medio domus meae qui facit superbiam qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum

8 I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.

in matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terrae ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem
