Psalmorum 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: 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 meae.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam: facientes praevaricationes odivi. Non adhaesit mihi

I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto me.

4 cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

A froward 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 privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

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

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

7 Non habitabit in medio domus meae 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 terrae: 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.
