Psalms 101

1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: to you, O LORD, will I sing.

Davidov. Psalam. Da zapjevam o dobroti i pravdi, tebi, Jahve, da zasviram!

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Razmatrat ću put savršenstva: kad li ćeš k meni doći? Hodit ću u nedužnosti srca u domu svojemu.

3 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not stick to me.

Neću stavljati pred oči svoje ništa opako. Mrzim čovjeka koji čini zlo: on neće biti uza me.

4 A fraudulent heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Opako će srce biti daleko od mene; o zlu neću da znadem.

5 Whoever privately slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that has an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Tko kleveće bližnjeg u potaji, toga ću pogubiti. Čovjeka oholih očiju i srca naduta ja ne podnosim.

6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Pogled upravljam k vjernima na zemlji da sa mnom stanuju. Tko hodi putem nedužnim taj će mi služiti.

7 He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Neće prebivati u kući mojoj tko spletke snuje. Tko govori laži, neće opstati pred mojim očima.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Svaki ću dan istrebljivati sve zlikovce u zemlji; iskorijenit ću iz grada Jahvina sve koji čine bezakonje.
