Psalmorum 101

1 David psalmus 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 intellegam in via inmaculata 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 adhesit 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 declinante a me maligno 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 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 a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

7 non habitabat 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.
