1Taaveti laul. Ma laulan heldusest ja õigusest ja mängin sinule, Issand.
1{A Psalm of David.} I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.
2Ma mõtlen käia laitmatut teed. Millal sina tuled mu juurde? Ma tahan vaga südamega käia oma kojas.
2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
3Ei ma sea oma silma ette tühje asju; ma vihkan taganejate tegusid, ei need hakka mu külge.
3I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4Pöörane süda olgu kaugel minust, ei ma salli kurja.
4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.
5Kes salaja laimab oma ligimest, selle ma hävitan; kel ülbed silmad ja hooplev süda, seda ma ei talu.
5Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
6Mu silmad otsivad ustavaid maa peal, et nad elaksid mu juures. Kes käib laitmatut teed, see peab olema minu teenija.
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.
7Ei tohi mu koja keskele astuda see, kes teeb pettust; kes räägib valet, ei jää püsima mu silma ette.
7He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.
8Igal hommikul ma hävitan kõik õelad maa pealt, kaotan Issanda linnast kõik ülekohtutegijad.
8Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
