Psalms 101

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

Ngizahlabela ngomusa lesahlulelo; ngizahlabela kuwe, Nkosi.

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.

Ngizaziphatha ngenhlakanipho ngendlela eqotho. Uzakuza nini kimi? Ngizahamba ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami phakathi kwendlu yami.

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

Kangiyikubeka phambi kwamehlo ami into embi. Ngiyakuzonda ukwenza kwabaphambukayo; kakuyikunamathela kimi.

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

Inhliziyo ephambeneyo izasuka kimi; kangiyikumazi omubi.

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

Ohleba umakhelwane wakhe ensitha, yena ngizamquma. Ophakeme ngamehlo, lolenhliziyo ezikhukhumezayo, yena kangiyikumvumela.

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 belizwe, ukuze bahlale lami. Ohamba endleleni eqotho, yena uzangikhonza.

7 He who practices deceit will not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood will not be established before my eyes.

Owenza inkohliso kayikuhlala phakathi kwendlu yami; okhuluma amanga kayikuma phambi kwamehlo ami.

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

Insuku zonke ekuseni ngizabaquma bonke ababi belizwe, ukuze ngibaqume basuke emzini weNkosi bonke abenzi bobubi.
