Psalms 101

1 A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

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

2 I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

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

3 I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.

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

4 Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.

cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

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

6 I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.

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

7 Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome 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 from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.

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