Psalmul 101

Al lui David. Un psalm.

Voi cânta îndurarea şi judecata,
    Ţie Îţi voi cânta, Doamne!
Voi fi cu luare aminte la calea integrităţii.
    Când vei veni la mine?
Voi umbla în integritatea inimii mele,
    în mijlocul casei mele.
Nu voi pune nici o nelegiuire
    înaintea ochilor mei!
Urăsc pe cei ce s-au abătut;
    el nu se va lipi de mine!
Inima pervertită se va îndepărta de mine.
    Nu vreau să cunosc răul!
Pe cel ce-şi bârfeşte semenul în ascuns
    îl voi reduce la tăcere;
pe cel cu ochii trufaşi şi cu inima îngâmfată
    nu-l voi suferi.

Ochii mei vor fi asupra credincioşilor din ţară,
    ca ei să locuiască cu mine;
cel ce umblă pe calea integrităţii
    îmi va sluji.
Cel ce săvârşeşte înşelăciunea
    nu va locui în casa mea;
cel ce spune minciuni
    nu va sta în preajma mea.
În fiecare dimineaţă îi voi nimici
    pe toţi cei răi din ţară,
ca să stârpesc din cetatea Domnului
    pe toţi aceia care săvârşesc nelegiuirea.

The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

101 I will (A)sing of mercy and [a]justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
I will (B)carefully attend to the [b]blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the [c](C)integrity of my heart.
I will set no (D)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the [d]work of those who (E)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
A (F)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
Whoever secretly (G)slanders his neighbor, him I will [e]destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (H)haughty look and an arrogant heart.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a [f](I)blameless way is one who will serve me.
One who (J)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (K)shall not [g]maintain his position before me.
(L)Every morning I will [h](M)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (N)eliminate from the (O)city of the Lord all those who do injustice.

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)
