Psalms 101

1 [A Psalm by David.] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

Psalmus ipsi David. Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,

2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

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

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi

4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

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

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

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

7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

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

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all evildoers from the LORD's city.

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