Psalms 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 Whoever secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

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

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

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

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practise wickedness from the city of the LORD.

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