Psalmorum 101

1 David psalmus misericordiam et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine psallam

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: 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 behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to 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 wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 cor pravum declinante a me maligno non cognoscebam

A froward heart shall depart 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

Whoever privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

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

My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve 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 telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practice wickedness from the city of the LORD.
