Psalms 101

1 A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

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

2 And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

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

3 I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

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

4 The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

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

5 The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

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

6 My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

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.

7 He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

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

8 In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

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