Psalms 101

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, To You, O YHWH, I sing praise.

Ngizahlabela ngomusa lesahlulelo; ngizahlabela kuwe, Nkosi.

2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

Ngizaziphatha ngenhlakanipho ngendlela eqotho. Uzakuza nini kimi? Ngizahamba ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami phakathi kwendlu yami.

3 I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, I have hated the work of those turning aside, It does not adhere to me.

Kangiyikubeka phambi kwamehlo ami into embi. Ngiyakuzonda ukwenza kwabaphambukayo; kakuyikunamathela kimi.

4 A perverse heart turns aside from me, I do not know wickedness.

Inhliziyo ephambeneyo izasuka kimi; kangiyikumazi omubi.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, Him I do not endure.

Ohleba umakhelwane wakhe ensitha, yena ngizamquma. Ophakeme ngamehlo, lolenhliziyo ezikhukhumezayo, yena kangiyikumvumela.

6 My eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoever is walking in a perfect way, he serves me.

Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo belizwe, ukuze bahlale lami. Ohamba endleleni eqotho, yena uzangikhonza.

7 He who is working deceit does not dwell in my house, Whoever is speaking lies is not established before my eyes.

Owenza inkohliso kayikuhlala phakathi kwendlu yami; okhuluma amanga kayikuma phambi kwamehlo ami.

8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of YHWH All the workers of iniquity!

Insuku zonke ekuseni ngizabaquma bonke ababi belizwe, ukuze ngibaqume basuke emzini weNkosi bonke abenzi bobubi.
