< Psalms 101 >

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.
Psalmus ipsi David. Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,
2 I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
et intelligam in via immaculata: quando venies ad me? Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.
Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.
cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.
5 Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.
Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar: superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.
6 Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.
Oculi mei ad fideles terræ, ut sedeant mecum; ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam; qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.
8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ, ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.
