Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

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

2 I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh 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 base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto 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 know no evil thing.

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

5 Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him 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 are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto 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 worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

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

8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.

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