{100:1} Psalmus ipsi David. Misericordiam, et iudicium cantabo tibi Domine: Psallam,
{100:1} A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

{100:2} et intelligam in via immaculata, quando venies ad me. Perambulabam in innocentia cordis mei, in medio domus meæ.
{100:2} And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

{100:3} Non proponebam ante oculos meos rem iniustam: facientes prævaricationes odivi.
{100:3} I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

{100:4} Non adhæsit mihi cor pravum: declinantem a me malignum non cognoscebam.
{100:4} The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

{100:5} Detrahentem secreto proximo suo, hunc persequebar. Superbo oculo, et insatiabili corde, cum hoc non edebam.
{100:5} The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

{100:6} Oculi mei ad fideles terræ ut sedeant mecum: ambulans in via immaculata, hic mihi ministrabat.
