君王的諾言

大衛的詩。

101 耶和華啊,
我要歌頌你的慈愛和公正,
我要歌頌你。
我要謹慎行事,
走正直的路,
你何時來我這裡?
我要在家中以正直的心行事。
我要棄絕惡事,
我憎惡背棄上帝者的行為,
不沾染他們的惡行。
我要遠離心思悖逆的人,
不與邪惡的事有任何瓜葛。
我要消滅暗中譭謗鄰居的人,
也不容忍心高氣傲的人。
我要看顧國中忠於上帝的人,
讓他們與我同住。
行事正直的人才能服侍我。
詭詐的人必不得與我同住,
口出謊言的人必不得侍立在我面前。
每天早晨我要消滅國中所有的惡人,
從耶和華的城中剷除一切作惡的人。

A Psalm of David.

¶ I will sing of mercy and judgment; unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

When thou shalt come unto me, I will walk in the way of perfection and understand. I will walk in the midst of my house in the perfection of my heart.

I will set nothing of Belial before my eyes: I hate the work of those that betray; it shall not cleave to me.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.

Whosoever secretly slanders his neighbour, I will cut off; he that has a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walks in the way of perfection, he shall serve me.

He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.

101 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

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 serve me.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

I will sing of your love(A) and justice;
    to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
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.
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.
The perverse of heart(F) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

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.

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.

No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

Every morning(J) I will put to silence
    all the wicked(K) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(L)
    from the city of the Lord.(M)
