Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

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

2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually 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 set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

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

4 A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

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

6 Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

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

7 He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine 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 Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!

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