Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

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: Oh when wilt thou 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 base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto 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 froward heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

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

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not 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 walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto 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 worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

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 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity 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.
