Psalms 101

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Of David Psalm] I wil sing of faithful love and judgement; to you, Yahweh, will I make music.	1 A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,
2 I wil go forward in the path of the blameless; when will you come to me? I wil live in purity of heart, inmy house,	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 wil not set before my eyes anything sordid. I hate those who act crookedly; this has no attraction forme.	3 I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.
4 Let the perverse of heart keep away from me; the wicked I disregard.	4 The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.
5 One who secretly slanders a comrade, I reduce to silence; haughty looks, proud heart, these I cannotabide.	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 I look to the faithful of the land to be my companions, only he who walks in the path of the blamelessshall be my servant.	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 There is no room in my house for anyone who practises deceit; no liar wil stand his ground where Ican see him.	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 Morning after morning I reduce to silence al the wicked in the land, banishing from the city ofYahweh al evil-doers.	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.
