Psalmorum 101

1 Psalmus ipsi David. Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,

A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

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

I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

3 Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi

I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

4 cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

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

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

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

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

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

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

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

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!
