Psalms 101

1 [A Psalm by David.] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, YHWH, I will sing praises.

Ngizahlabela ngomusa lesahlulelo; ngizahlabela kuwe, Nkosi.

2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

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

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

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

4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

Inhliziyo ephambeneyo izasuka kimi; kangiyikumazi omubi.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

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

6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

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

7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

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

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all evildoers from YHWH's city.

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