Psalms 101

1 I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To thee, O Jehovah, I will 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. O when will thou come to 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 my eyes. I hate the work of those who 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 know no evil thing.

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

5 He who slanders his neighbor secretly, him I will destroy. He who has a high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

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

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he shall minister to 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 who works deceit shall not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood shall not be established before my 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 I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

‌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.
