Ψαλμοί 101

1 τῷ Δαυιδ ψαλμός ἔλεος καὶ κρίσιν ᾄσομαί σοι κύριε

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

2 ψαλῶ καὶ συνήσω ἐν ὁδῷ ἀμώμῳ πότε ἥξεις πρός με διεπορευόμην ἐν ἀκακίᾳ καρδίας μου ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου μου

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.

3 οὐ προεθέμην πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου πρᾶγμα παράνομον ποιοῦντας παραβάσεις ἐμίσησα

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

4 οὐκ ἐκολλήθη μοι καρδία σκαμβή ἐκκλίνοντος ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ πονηροῦ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον

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

5 τὸν καταλαλοῦντα λάθρᾳ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ τοῦτον ἐξεδίωκον ὑπερηφάνῳ ὀφθαλμῷ καὶ ἀπλήστῳ καρδίᾳ τούτῳ οὐ συνήσθιον

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

6 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐπὶ τοὺς πιστοὺς τῆς γῆς τοῦ συγκαθῆσθαι αὐτοὺς μετ’ ἐμοῦ πορευόμενος ἐν ὁδῷ ἀμώμῳ οὗτός μοι ἐλειτούργει

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.

7 οὐ κατῴκει ἐν μέσῳ τῆς οἰκίας μου ποιῶν ὑπερηφανίαν λαλῶν ἄδικα οὐ κατεύθυνεν ἐναντίον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου

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

8 εἰς τὰς πρωίας ἀπέκτεννον πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς τῆς γῆς τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐκ πόλεως κυρίου πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν

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