1A Psalm of David. I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,
2and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
3I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful thing; I have hated transgressors.
4A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
5Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from me: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.
6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.
7The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
8Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Salmo de David. MISERICORDIA y juicio cantaré: á ti cantaré yo, oh Jehová.
2Entenderé en el camino de la perfección cuando vinieres á mí: en integridad de mi corazón andaré en medio de mi casa.
3No pondré delante de mis ojos cosa injusta: aborrezco la obra de los que se desvían: ninguno de ellos se allegará á mí.
4Corazón perverso se apartará de mí; no conoceré al malvado.
5Al que solapadamente infama á su prójimo, yo le cortaré; no sufriré al de ojos altaneros, y de corazón vanidoso.
6Mis ojos pondré en los fieles de la tierra, para que estén conmigo: el que anduviere en el camino de la perfección, éste me servirá.
7No habitará dentro de mi casa el que hace fraude: el que habla mentiras no se afirmará delante de mis ojos.
8Por las mañanas cortaré á todos los impíos de la tierra; para extirpar de la ciudad de Jehová á todos los que obraren iniquidad.
King James Version
1I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2I 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.
3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6Mine 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.
7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
