Mazmur 101

1 Mazmur Daud. Aku mau menyanyi tentang kesetiaan dan keadilan, bagi-Mu, ya TUHAN, nyanyian pujianku!

A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

2 Aku mau memperhatikan cara hidup yang tak bercela. Bilakah Engkau datang kepadaku? Aku mau hidup suci di rumahku,

And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 kejahatan tak akan kubiarkan. Kubenci perbuatan orang murtad, dan tak mau berurusan dengan mereka.

I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

4 Aku tak mau berlaku curang dan tak mau terlibat dalam kejahatan.

The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

5 Orang yang memfitnah dengan diam-diam akan kubinasakan. Orang yang sombong dan tinggi hati tak akan kubiarkan.

The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

6 Kusukai orang yang setia kepada Allah; mereka boleh tinggal di rumahku. Orang yang hidup tanpa cela boleh melayani aku.

My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

7 Penipu tak boleh tinggal di rumahku; pembohong tak akan tahan di hadapanku.

He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

8 Dari hari ke hari aku akan membasmi orang-orang jahat di negeri ini. Semua orang yang melakukan kejahatan akan kulenyapkan dari kota TUHAN.

In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
