Psalms 101

1 A Psalm. Of David. I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.

Davidov. Psalam. Da zapjevam o dobroti i pravdi, tebi, Jahve, da zasviram!

2 I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

Razmatrat ću put savršenstva: kad li ćeš k meni doći? Hodit ću u nedužnosti srca u domu svojemu.

3 I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

Neću stavljati pred oči svoje ništa opako. Mrzim čovjeka koji čini zlo: on neće biti uza me.

4 The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.

Opako će srce biti daleko od mene; o zlu neću da znadem.

5 I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

Tko kleveće bližnjeg u potaji, toga ću pogubiti. Čovjeka oholih očiju i srca naduta ja ne podnosim.

6 My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.

Pogled upravljam k vjernima na zemlji da sa mnom stanuju. Tko hodi putem nedužnim taj će mi služiti.

7 The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.

Neće prebivati u kući mojoj tko spletke snuje. Tko govori laži, neće opstati pred mojim očima.

8 Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.

Svaki ću dan istrebljivati sve zlikovce u zemlji; iskorijenit ću iz grada Jahvina sve koji čine bezakonje.
