Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

Davidov. Psalam. Da zapjevam o dobroti i pravdi, tebi, Jahve, da zasviram!

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Razmatrat ću put savršenstva: kad li ćeš k meni doći? Hodit ću u nedužnosti srca u domu svojemu.

3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto me.

Neću stavljati pred oči svoje ništa opako. Mrzim čovjeka koji čini zlo: on neće biti uza me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

Opako će srce biti daleko od mene; o zlu neću da znadem.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

Tko kleveće bližnjeg u potaji, toga ću pogubiti. Čovjeka oholih očiju i srca naduta ja ne podnosim.

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

Pogled upravljam k vjernima na zemlji da sa mnom stanuju. Tko hodi putem nedužnim taj će mi služiti.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

Neće prebivati u kući mojoj tko spletke snuje. Tko govori laži, neće opstati pred mojim očima.

8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.

Svaki ću dan istrebljivati sve zlikovce u zemlji; iskorijenit ću iz grada Jahvina sve koji čine bezakonje.
