< Psalms 101 >
1 A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,
I pan kauleki duen kalangan o pung; i pan kauleki psalm akan ong komui. Maing Ieowa.
2 and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
I men inen eweita ni al pung — iad kom pan koti dong 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 sota men wia morsued; i tataki wiawian me dipan akan, a sota pan pat ong ia.
4 A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.
Mongiong sapung pan muei sang ia; i sota men asa duen me sued.
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 suedeki me aklapalap ni mas ar o mongiong 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.
Mas ai pan apapwali me melel akan nan sap o, pwe ren kauson re i; me kin weweid ni al pung, pan papa ia.
7 The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.
Me kin kotaue, sota pan kauson nan im ai, me kin likam, sota pan pwaida mon mas ai.
8 Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
Ni mansang karos i pan kawela me katiwo nan sap o, pwen kokosang kanim en Ieowa karos, me kin wia sapung.
