Psalmorum 101

1 David psalmus misericordiam et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine psallam

“A psalm of David.” I will sing of mercy and justice; To thee, O LORD! will I sing!

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

I will have regard to the way of uprightness: When thou shalt come to me, I will walk within my house with an upright heart.

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

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes; I hate the work of evil-doers; It shall not cleave to me.

4 cor pravum declinante a me maligno non cognoscebam

The perverse in heart shall be far 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

Whoso slandereth his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off; Him that hath a haughty look and a proud heart I will not endure.

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

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He that walketh in the way of uprightness shall serve me.

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

He who practiseth deceit shall not dwell in my house; He who telleth lies shall not remain in my sight.

8 in matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terrae ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem

Every morning will I destroy the wicked of the land, That I may cut off all evil-doers from the city of the LORD.
