Psalmorum 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

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

I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

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

I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.

4 cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.

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

Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

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

Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.

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

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

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

Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
