立志行正直的路

大卫的诗。

101 我要歌唱慈爱和公正;

耶和华啊!我要向你歌颂。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)

我要小心谨慎行正直的路;

你甚么时候才到我这里来呢?

我要在我的家中,以正直的心行事。

邪恶的事,我都不摆在眼前;

离开正路的人所作的事,我都恨恶,

决不容这些沾染我。

狡诈的心思,我要远离;

邪恶的事,我不参与。

暗中诽谤邻舍的,我必把他灭绝;

眼目高傲,心里骄横的,

我必不容忍他。

我的眼目必看顾国中的诚实人,

使他们与我同住;

行为正直的,

必要侍候我。

行诡诈的,必不得住在我的家里;

说谎话的,必不能在我眼前坚立。

我每日早晨必灭绝国中所有的恶人,

好把所有作孽的人都从耶和华的城里剪除。

Psalm 101[a]

A psalm of David.

101 I will sing about loyalty and justice.
To you, O Lord, I will sing praises.
I will walk[b] in the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will conduct my business with integrity in the midst of my palace.[c]
I will not even consider doing what is dishonest.[d]
I hate doing evil;[e]
I will have no part of it.[f]
I will have nothing to do with a perverse person;[g]
I will not permit[h] evil.
I will destroy anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret.
I will not tolerate anyone who has a haughty demeanor and an arrogant attitude.[i]
I will favor the honest people of the land,[j]
and allow them to live with me.[k]
Those who walk in the way of integrity will attend me.[l]
Deceitful people will not live in my palace.[m]
Liars will not be welcome in my presence.[n]
Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land,
and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.

Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. Psalm 101:2 tn Heb “take notice of.”
  3. Psalm 101:2 tn Heb “I will walk about in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.”
  4. Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “I will not set before my eyes a thing of worthlessness.”
  5. 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).
  6. Psalm 101:3 tn Heb “it [i.e., the doing of evil deeds] does not cling to me.”
  7. 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).
  8. Psalm 101:4 tn Heb “know.” The king will not willingly allow perverse individuals to remain in his royal court.
  9. Psalm 101:5 tn Heb “[one who has] pride of eyes and wideness [i.e., arrogance] of heart, him I will not endure.”
  10. Psalm 101:6 tn Heb “my eyes [are] on the faithful of the land.”
  11. Psalm 101:6 tn The Hebrew text simply reads, “in order to live with me.”
  12. Psalm 101:6 tn Heb “one who walks in the way of integrity, he will minister to me.”
  13. Psalm 101:7 tn Heb “he will not live in the midst of my house, one who does deceit.”
  14. Psalm 101:7 tn Heb “one who speaks lies will not be established before my eyes.”

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

Oh, when will You come to me?

I will set nothing [b]wicked before my eyes;
(B)I hate the work of those (C)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (D)know wickedness.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(E)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,

That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [c]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;

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,

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

    all the wicked(K) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(L)
    from the city of the Lord.(M)
