Psalms 101

1 A Psalm by David. I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

ElikaDavida. Ihubo. Ngizahlabelela ngothando lwakho lokwahlulela kwakho okuhle; kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngizahlabelela indumiso.

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

Ngizananzelela ukuthi ngiphile impilo engasolekiyo uzakuza nini kimi na? Ngizahamba endlini yami ngenhliziyo engasolekiyo.

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

Phambi kwamehlo ami angiyikubeka lutho olungcolileyo. Izenzo zabantu abangakholwayo ngiyazizonda; kazizukunginamathela.

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

Abantu abalenhliziyo exhwalileyo bazakuba khatshana lami; angiyikuhambelana lobubi.

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

Lowo ochothoza umakhelwane wakhe ngasese, lowo ngizamthulisa; olamehlo asesiphundu lenhliziyo ezigqajayo, lowo kangilasikhathi laye.

6 My 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.

Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo elizweni, ukuthi bahlale lami; lowo okuhamba kwakhe kakulansolo uzangisebenzela ekhonza kimi.

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

Kakho othanda ukwenza inkohliso ozahlala endlini yami; kakho okhuluma amanga ozakuma phambi kwami.

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

Zonke insuku ekuseni ngizabathulisa bonke ababi phakathi kwelizwe; ngizamlahla phansi wonke umuntu oyisigangi edolobheni likaThixo.
