1 Of mercy and of justice my song shall be; a psalm in thy honour, Lord, 2 from one that would guide his steps ever more perfectly. Ah, when wilt thou grant me thy presence?[1] Here in my house I would live with stainless heart; 3 no ill purpose clouding my view, the transgressors of the law my enemies. 4 None such will I have at my side; here treachery shall find no place, knavery no countenance; 5 of whispered calumny, death shall be the reward; on scornful looks and proud thoughts I will have no mercy. 6 To plain, honest folk in the land I will look for my company; my servants shall be such as follow the path of innocence. 7 No welcome here for schemers, no standing in my presence for men who talk deceitfully. 8 Mine, as the days pass, to root out from the land every guilty soul, till I purge the Lord’s city of all evil-doing. |
1 Misericordiam et judicium cantabo tibi, Domine;
psallam, 2
et intelligam in via immaculata: quando venies ad me?
Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ. 3
Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem injustam;
facientes prævaricationes odivi;
non adhæsit mihi 4 cor pravum;
declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam. 5
Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar:
superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam. 6
Oculi mei ad fideles terræ, ut sedeant mecum;
ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat. 7
Non habitabit in medio domus meæ qui facit superbiam;
qui loquitur iniqua non direxit in conspectu oculorum meorum. 8
In matutino interficiebam omnes peccatores terræ,
ut disperderem de civitate Domini omnes operantes iniquitatem. |
