The Bible Psalms Psalm 100

Psalm 100

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 101 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. ΕΛΕΟΣ καὶ κρίσιν ᾄσομαί σοι, Κύριε·

(101) A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,

2 ψαλῶ καὶ συνήσω ἐν ὁδῷ ἀμώμῳ· πότε ἥξεις πρός με; διεπορευόμην ἐν ἀκακίᾳ καρδίας μου ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου μου.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 οὐ προεθέμην πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου πρᾶγμα παράνομον, ποιοῦντας παραβάσεις ἐμίσησα· οὐκ ἐκολλήθη μοι καρδία σκαμβή.

I have not set before my eyes any unlawful thing; I have hated transgressors.

4 ἐκκλίνοντος ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ τοῦ πονηροῦ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 τὸν καταλαλοῦντα λάθρᾳ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, τοῦτον ἐξεδίωκον· ὑπερηφάνῳ ὀφθαλμῷ καὶ ἀπλήστῳ καρδίᾳ, τούτῳ οὐ συνήσθιον.

Him 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.

6 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐπὶ τοὺς πιστοὺς τῆς γῆς τοῦ συγκαθῆσθαι αὐτοὺς μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ· πορευόμενος ἐν ὁδῷ ἀμώμῳ, οὗτός μοι ἐλειτούργει.

My 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.

7 οὐ κατῴκει ἐν μέσῳ τῆς οἰκίας μου ποιῶν ὑπερηφανίαν, λαλῶν ἄδικα οὐ κατεύθυνεν ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου.

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 εἰς τὰς πρωίας ἀπέκτεινον πάντας τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς τῆς γῆς τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἐκ πόλεως Κυρίου πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν.

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
