Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.

Dawid Dwom. Mɛto wo dɔ ne wo tenenee ho dwom; Ao Awurade, mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

Mɛhwɛ yie abu ɔbra a ɛho teɛ. Dabɛn na wobɛba me nkyɛn? Mede akoma a afɔdie nni mu bɛnante me fie.

3 I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Meremfa mʼani nsi adeɛ a ɛyɛ tane biara so. Mekyiri nnipa a wɔnni gyidie; Me ne wɔn nni hwee yɛ.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

Nnipa a wɔn akoma yɛ kontonkyi remmɛn me; me ne bɔne nni hwee yɛ.

5 Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

Obiara a ɔdi ne yɔnko ho nsekuro wɔ kɔkoam no, ɔno na mɛsɛe; deɛ ɔwɔ ahantan ani ne ahomasoɔ akoma, ɔno na merennyegye ne so.

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Mʼani bɛkɔ anokwafoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no soɔ no so na me ne wɔn atena; deɛ ne nanteɛ ho nni asɛm no, ɔno na ɔbɛsom me.

7 He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.

Deɛ ɔyɛ ɔdaadaafoɔ biara rentena me fie; deɛ ɔtwa nkontompo no rennyina mʼanim.

8 Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

Adekyeeɛ biara, mɛsɛe amumuyɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase yi so nyinaa; na mapam ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ biara afiri Awurade kuropɔn mu.
