Psalm 101
American Standard Version
The psalmist’s profession of uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
101 I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
2 I will [a]behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house [b]with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate [c]the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no [d]evil thing.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

Engagement à lutter contre le mal
101 Psaume de David.
Je veux chanter l’amour ╵et la justice,
je te célébrerai ╵par la musique, ╵ô Eternel.
2 Je ferai attention ╵de suivre le chemin ╵des gens intègres.
Quand viendras-tu vers moi ?
Je veux marcher ╵avec un cœur intègre
dans ma maison,
3 je ne mettrai ╵rien de mauvais ╵devant mes yeux.
Je hais l’acte tordu,
il n’aura sur moi pas de prise.
4 Le cœur corrompu restera ╵bien loin de moi,
je ne veux pas ╵être impliqué avec le mal.
5 Celui qui calomnie ╵son prochain en secret,
je le réduirai au silence.
Je ne supporte pas
les yeux hautains ╵ni le cœur arrogant.
6 Mes yeux se porteront ╵sur les fidèles du pays,
je les ferai siéger auprès de moi.
Et ceux qui suivent le chemin ╵des gens intègres
seront à mon service.
7 Il n’y a pas de place ╵dans ma maison
pour qui pratique ╵la tromperie,
et le menteur ╵ne subsistera pas ╵en ma présence.
8 Tous les matins[a] ╵je fermerai la bouche ╵aux méchants du pays,
pour retrancher ╵de la cité de l’Eternel,
tous ceux qui font le mal.

Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
1 I will sing of your love(A) and justice;
to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life(B)—
when will you come to me?
I will conduct the affairs(C) of my house
with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.(D)
I hate what faithless people do;(E)
I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(F) shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(G) in secret,
I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(H) and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(I)
will minister to me.
7 No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
