< Psalms 101 >
1 A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,
Of David a psalm covenant loyalty and justice I will sing to you O Yahweh I will sing praises.
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.
I will give attention - to a way blameless when? will you come to me I will walk about in [the] integrity of heart my in [the] midst of house my.
3 I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.
Not I will set - to before eyes my a thing of worthlessness [the] doing of swerving deeds I hate not it will cling to me.
4 A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
A heart perverse it will depart from me evil not I will know.
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.
([one who] slanders *Q(k)*) In secrecy - neighbor his him I will destroy [the] haughty of eyes and [the] wide of heart him not I will be able.
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.
Eyes my - [will be] on [the] faithful [people] of [the] earth to dwell with me [one who] walks in a way blameless he he will serve me.
7 The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
Not he will dwell - in [the] midst of house my [one who] does deceit [one who] speaks lies not he will be established to before eyes my.
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.
To the mornings I will destroy all [the] wicked [people] of [the] land to cut off from [the] city of Yahweh all [those who] do wickedness.
