从耶和华的城中铲除一切作恶的人。
诗篇 101
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
立志行正直的路
大衛的詩。
101 我要歌唱慈愛和公正；
耶和華啊！我要向你歌頌。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 我要小心謹慎行正直的路；
你甚麼時候才到我這裡來呢？
我要在我的家中，以正直的心行事。
3 邪惡的事，我都不擺在眼前；
離開正路的人所作的事，我都恨惡，
決不容這些沾染我。
4 狡詐的心思，我要遠離；
邪惡的事，我不參與。
5 暗中誹謗鄰舍的，我必把他滅絕；
眼目高傲，心裡驕橫的，
我必不容忍他。
6 我的眼目必看顧國中的誠實人，
使他們與我同住；
行為正直的，
必要侍候我。
7 行詭詐的，必不得住在我的家裡；
說謊話的，必不能在我眼前堅立。
8 我每日早晨必滅絕國中所有的惡人，
好把所有作孽的人都從耶和華的城裡剪除。

Footnotes
- Psalm 101:1 sn Psalm 101. The psalmist, who appears to be a king, promises to promote justice in his land and vows to rid his royal court of evildoers.
- Psalm 101:2 tn Heb “take notice of.”
- Psalm 101:2 tn Heb “I will walk about in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.”
- Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “I will not set before my eyes a thing of worthlessness.”
- Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “the doing of swerving [deeds] I hate.” The Hebrew term סֵטִים (setim) is probably an alternate spelling of שֵׂטִים (setim), which appears in many medieval Hebrew mss. The form appears to be derived from a verbal root שׂוּט (sut, “to fall away; to swerve”; see Ps 40:4).
- Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “it [i.e., the doing of evil deeds] does not cling to me.”
- Psalm 101:4 tn Heb “a perverse heart will turn aside from me.” The adjective עִקֵּשׁ (ʿiqqesh) has the basic nuance “twisted; crooked” and by extension refers to someone or something that is morally perverse (see Ps 18:26). It appears frequently in the Book of Proverbs, where it is used of evil people (22:5), speech (8:8; 19:1), thoughts (11:20; 17:20), and life styles (2:15; 28:6).
- Psalm 101:4 tn Heb “know.” The king will not willingly allow perverse individuals to remain in his royal court.
- Psalm 101:5 tn Heb “[one who has] pride of eyes and wideness [i.e., arrogance] of heart, him I will not endure.”
- Psalm 101:6 tn Heb “my eyes [are] on the faithful of the land.”
- Psalm 101:6 tn The Hebrew text simply reads, “in order to live with me.”
- Psalm 101:6 tn Heb “one who walks in the way of integrity, he will minister to me.”
- Psalm 101:7 tn Heb “he will not live in the midst of my house, one who does deceit.”
- Psalm 101:7 tn Heb “one who speaks lies will not be established before my eyes.”
