Psalms 101

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, To You, O YHWH, I sing praise.

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

2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

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

3 I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, I have hated the work of those turning aside, It does not adhere to me.

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

4 A perverse heart turns aside from me, I do not know wickedness.

cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, Him I do not endure.

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

6 My eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoever is walking in a perfect way, he serves me.

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

7 He who is working deceit does not dwell in my house, Whoever is speaking lies is not established before my eyes.

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

8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of YHWH All the workers of iniquity!

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