< Psalms 101 >

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ سَأُشِيدُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَلَكَ أُرَنِّمُ.١
2 and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
أَسْلُكُ بِتَعَقُّلٍ فِي طَرِيقِ الْكَمَالِ. مَتَى تَأْتِي يَا رَبُّ لِمَعُونَتِي؟ أَسْلُكُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِي بِاسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبِي.٢
3 I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.
لَنْ أَضَعَ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ أَمْراً بَاطِلاً، فَإِنِّي أُبْغِضُ عَمَلَ الضَّالِّينَ لِئَلّا يَلْتَصِقَ بِي.٣
4 A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
لِيُفَارِقْنِي الْقَلْبُ الْمُنْحَرِفُ فَلَا أَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً.٤
5 Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.
أُبِيدُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَغْتَابُ قَرِيبَهُ سِرّاً؛ وَذُو الْعَيْنِ الْمُتَشَامِخَةِ وَالْقَلْبِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِ لَا أَحْتَمِلُهُ.٥
6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.
تَرْعَى عَيْنَايَ الأُمَنَاءَ فِي الأَرْضِ لِيَسْكُنُوا مَعِي. وَخُدَّامِي هُمُ السَّالِكُونَ فِي طَرِيقِ الكَمَالِ.٦
7 The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
لَا يُقِيمُ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِي الْغَشَّاشُونَ، وَالْكَذَبَةُ لَا يَمْثُلُونَ أَمَامِي.٧
8 Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
أَقْضِي فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الأَشْرَارِ فِي أَرْضِنَا، حَتَّى أَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ الرَّبِّ كُلَّ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ.٨
