Psalmorum 101

1 David psalmus misericordiam et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine psallam

[A Psalm by David.] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

2 et intellegam in via inmaculata quando venies ad me perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei in medio domus meae

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam facientes praevaricationes odivi non adhesit mihi

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4 cor pravum declinante a me maligno non cognoscebam

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 detrahentem secreto proximo suo hunc persequebar superbo oculo et insatiabili corde cum hoc non edebam

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

6 oculi mei ad fideles terrae ut sederent mecum ambulans in via inmaculata hic mihi ministrabat

My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

7 non habitabat in medio domus meae qui facit superbiam qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum

He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established 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 of the land; to cut off all evildoers from the LORD's city.
