Psalmorum 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to 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 behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

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

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

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

Whoever privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

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

My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve 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 telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practice wickedness from the city of the LORD.
