¹Taaveti laul. Ma laulan heldusest ja õigusest ja mängin sinule, Issand.

¹I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

²Ma mõtlen käia laitmatut teed. Millal sina tuled mu juurde? Ma tahan vaga südamega käia oma kojas.

²I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

³Ei ma sea oma silma ette tühje asju; ma vihkan taganejate tegusid, ei need hakka mu külge.

³I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

⁴Pöörane süda olgu kaugel minust, ei ma salli kurja.

⁴A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

⁵Kes salaja laimab oma ligimest, selle ma hävitan; kel ülbed silmad ja hooplev süda, seda ma ei talu.

⁵I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

⁶Mu silmad otsivad ustavaid maa peal, et nad elaksid mu juures. Kes käib laitmatut teed, see peab olema minu teenija.

⁶My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

⁷Ei tohi mu koja keskele astuda see, kes teeb pettust; kes räägib valet, ei jää püsima mu silma ette.

⁷He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

⁸Igal hommikul ma hävitan kõik õelad maa pealt, kaotan Issanda linnast kõik ülekohtutegijad.

⁸Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.
