Psalms 101

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

Psalmus ipsi David. Misericordiam, et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine: Psallam,

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.

et intelligam in via immaculata, quando venies ad me. Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.

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.

Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam: facientes prævaricationes odivi.

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

Non adhæsit mihi cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

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.

Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar. Superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.

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.

Oculi mei ad fideles terræ ut sedeant mecum: ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.

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

Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam: qui loquitur iniqua, non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.

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.

In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ: ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.
