Salmenes 101

1 Av David; ein salme. Um miskunn og rett vil eg syngja; deg, Herre, vil eg lova.

A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

2 Eg vil agta på den ulastande veg - når kjem du til meg? Eg vil vandra i mitt hjartans uskyld i mitt hus.

And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Ikkje set eg meg for augo nidingsverk, å gjera misgjerd hatar eg, slikt heng ikkje ved meg.

I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

4 Eit rangsnutt hjarta skal vika frå meg, vondt vil eg ikkje vita av.

The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

5 Den som løynleg lastar sin næste, han vil eg tyna; deim med stolte augo og ovmodigt hjarta kann eg ikkje tola.

The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

6 Mine augo ser på dei trugne i landet, for eg vil dei skal bu hjå meg; den som vandrar på ulastande veg, han skal tena meg.

My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

7 I mitt hus skal ingen få bu som fer med svik; den som talar lygn, skal ikkje standa for augo mine.

He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

8 Kvar morgon vil eg tyna alle ugudlege i landet, so eg kann rydja ut or Herrens by alle ugjerningsmenner.

In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
