Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

Nitaimba uaminifu wa agano lako na hukumu; kwako, Ee Yahwe, Nitakuimbia sifa.

2 I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

Nitatembea katika njia ya uadilifu. Oh, ni lini utakuja kwangu? Nitatembea kwa uadilifu ndani ya nyumba yangu.

3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

Sitaweka matendo maovu mbele ya macho yangu; ninachukia uovu usio na maana; hauta shikamana nami.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

Watu waliopotoka wataniacha mimi; mimi sichangamani na uovu.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

Nitamwangamiza yeyote amsengenyaye jirani yake kwa siri. Sitamvumilia yeyote mwenye kiburi.

6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

Nitawachagua walio waaminifu katika nchi wakae upande wangu. Wale watembeao katika njia ya uhadilifu watanitumikia.

7 No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

Watu wadanganyifu hawatabaki ndani ya nyumba yangu; waongo hawatakaribishwa mbele ya macho yangu.

8 Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.

Asubuhi hata asubuhi nitawaangamiza waovu wote kutoka nchini; nitawaondoa watendao maovu wote katika mji wa Yahwe.
