Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

ElikaDavida. Ihubo. Ngizahlabelela ngothando lwakho lokwahlulela kwakho okuhle; kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngizahlabelela indumiso.

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.

Ngizananzelela ukuthi ngiphile impilo engasolekiyo uzakuza nini kimi na? Ngizahamba endlini yami ngenhliziyo engasolekiyo.

3 I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

Phambi kwamehlo ami angiyikubeka lutho olungcolileyo. Izenzo zabantu abangakholwayo ngiyazizonda; kazizukunginamathela.

4 A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

Abantu abalenhliziyo exhwalileyo bazakuba khatshana lami; angiyikuhambelana lobubi.

5 Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

Lowo ochothoza umakhelwane wakhe ngasese, lowo ngizamthulisa; olamehlo asesiphundu lenhliziyo ezigqajayo, lowo kangilasikhathi laye.

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.

Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo elizweni, ukuthi bahlale lami; lowo okuhamba kwakhe kakulansolo uzangisebenzela ekhonza kimi.

7 The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

Kakho othanda ukwenza inkohliso ozahlala endlini yami; kakho okhuluma amanga ozakuma phambi kwami.

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.

Zonke insuku ekuseni ngizabathulisa bonke ababi phakathi kwelizwe; ngizamlahla phansi wonke umuntu oyisigangi edolobheni likaThixo.
