Psalmorum 101

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

A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

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

I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

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

I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.

4 cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.

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

I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

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

I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.

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

Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome before my eyes.

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

Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.
