< Psalmorum 101 >
1 Psalmus ipsi David. [Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,
A Psalme of David. I will sing mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 et intelligam in via immaculata: quando venies ad me? Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.
I will doe wisely in the perfite way, till thou commest to me: I will walke in the vprightnes of mine heart in the middes of mine house.
3 Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi
I wil set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that fall away: it shall not cleaue vnto me.
4 cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill.
5 Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar: superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.
Him that priuily slandereth his neighbour, wil I destroy: him that hath a proude looke and hie heart, I cannot suffer.
6 Oculi mei ad fideles terræ, ut sedeant mecum; ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.
Mine eyes shalbe vnto the faithfull of the lande, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfite way, he shall serue me.
7 Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam; qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.
There shall no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight.
8 In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ, ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.]
Betimes will I destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquitie from the Citie of the Lord.
