< Psalms 101 >
1 A Psalm of David. I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,
I pan kauleki duen kalanan o pun; i pan kauleki pjalm akan on komui. Main leowa.
2 and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
I men inen eweita ni al pun iad kom pan koti don ia? i men weweid ni melel ren toun im ai.
3 I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.
I jota men wia morjued; i tataki wiawian me dipan akan, a jota pan pat on ia.
4 A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
Monion japun pan muei jan ia; i jota men aja duen me jued.
5 Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.
Me kin rir karaunemali men impa, i pan kamela; i juedeki me aklapalap ni maj ar o monion arail.
6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.
Maj ai pan apapwali me melel akan nan jap o, pwe ren kaujon re i; me kin weweid ni al pun, pan papa ia.
7 The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
Me kin kotaue, jota pan kaujon nan im ai, me kin likam, jota pan pwaida mon maj ai.
8 Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
Ni manjan karoj i pan kawela me katiwo nan jap o, pwen kokojan kanim en leowa karoj, me kin wia japun.
