100 A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

² And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

³ I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

⁴ The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

⁵ The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

⁶ My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

⁷ He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

⁸ In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

²⁷ And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses. And he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.

²⁸ And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs that he had commanded.

²⁹ And they came together, and they assembled all the ancients of the children of Israel.

³⁰ And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses: and he wrought the signs before the people,

³¹ And the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel: and that he had looked upon their affliction: and falling down they adored.

³⁵ This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? him God sent to be prince and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

³⁶ He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.

³⁷ This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself: him shall you hear.

³⁸ This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us.

³⁹ Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,

⁴⁰ Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us. For as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

⁴¹ And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

⁴² And God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel?

⁴³ And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
