Psalms 101

1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto you, O LORD, will I sing.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Te u hiva ʻaki ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamaau: ‌ʻE Sihova, te u hiva kiate koe.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Te u fai fakapotopoto ʻi he hala haohaoa. Te ke hāʻele mai ʻafē kiate au? Te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku fale ʻi he loto haohaoa.

3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

‌ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ha meʻa kovi ʻi hoku ʻao: ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he ngāue ʻanautolu kuo nau afe; ʻE ʻikai pipiki ia kiate au.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

‌ʻE ʻalu ʻiate au ʻaia ʻoku loto kovi: ʻE ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ha taha ʻoku kovi.

5 Whoso privately slanders his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that has an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Ko ia ʻoku fakakovi fakafufū hono kaungāʻapi, te u tuʻusi ia: ko ia ʻoku fiematamuʻa mo loto laukau ʻe ʻikai te u kātakiʻi.

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

‌ʻE sio maʻu hoku mata ki he kakai angatonu ʻi he fonua, koeʻuhi ke mau nonofo mo au: ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala haohaoa, ko ia ia ʻe tauhi au.

7 He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Ko ia ʻoku ne fai kākā ʻe ʻikai nofo ia ʻi hoku fale: ko ia ʻoku faʻa loi ʻe ʻikai te ne nofo ʻi hoku ʻao.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

‌ʻE vave ʻeku fakaʻauha ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; koeʻuhi ke u tuʻusi ʻae kakai fai kovi kotoa pē mei he kolo ʻa Sihova.
