Salmos 101

1Salmo de David. Quiero cantar la bondad y la justicia, un Salmo para Ti, Yahvé.

2Quiero seguir el camino recto. — ¡Oh, cuando vendrás a mí!— Procederé con recto corazón dentro de mi casa.

3Jamás pondré la mira en cosa injusta; aborrezco la conducta del que prevarica; no andará conmigo.

4El corazón perverso estará lejos de mí; lo malo no quiero ni conocerlo.

5Al que solapadamente calumnia a su prójimo lo destruiré. Al de mirada altiva y corazón inflado no lo soportaré.

6Mis ojos buscarán a los hombres fieles del país, para tenerlos cerca de mí. El que ande por el camino recto, ese será mi ministro.

7No habitará dentro de mi casa el hombre doble, y el mentiroso no durará en mi presencia.

8Exterminaré cada día a todos los pecadores del país, a fin de extirpar a todos los obradores de iniquidad en la ciudad de Yahvé.

1Psalmus ipsi David. [Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine; psallam,

2et intelligam in via immaculata: quando venies ad me? Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.

3Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam; facientes prævaricationes odivi; non adhæsit mihi

4cor pravum; declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.

5Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar: superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.

6Oculi mei ad fideles terræ, ut sedeant mecum; ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.

7Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam; qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum.

8In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ, ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem.]

1A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

2And 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.

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

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

5The 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.

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

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

8In 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.
