Psalmorum 101

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

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

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

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

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

4 Non adhæsit mihi cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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