Psalms 101

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

Psalmus David. Misericordiam, et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine: Psallam,

2 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.

et intelligam in via immaculata, quando venies ad me. Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meae.

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

Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam: facientes praevaricationes odivi. Non adhaesit mihi

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

cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar. Superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.

6 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.

Oculi mei ad fideles terrae ut sedeant mecum: ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.

7 He who practices deceit will not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood will not be established before my eyes.

Non habitabit in medio domus meae qui facit superbiam: qui loquitur iniqua, non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terrae: ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.
