君王的诺言

大卫的诗。

101 耶和华啊,
我要歌颂你的慈爱和公正,
我要歌颂你。
我要谨慎行事,
走正直的路,
你何时来我这里?
我要在家中以正直的心行事。
我要弃绝恶事,
我憎恶背弃上帝者的行为,
不沾染他们的恶行。
我要远离心思悖逆的人,
不与邪恶的事有任何瓜葛。
我要消灭暗中毁谤邻居的人,
也不容忍心高气傲的人。
我要看顾国中忠于上帝的人,
让他们与我同住。
行事正直的人才能服侍我。
诡诈的人必不得与我同住,
口出谎言的人必不得侍立在我面前。
每天早晨我要消灭国中所有的恶人,
从耶和华的城中铲除一切作恶的人。

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)

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。

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。

狡詐的心思,我要遠離;

邪惡的事,我不參與。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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.
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.
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.
A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no [d]evil thing.
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not 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 minister unto me.
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
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.

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.
