Psalms 101

1 David’s. A Melody. Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

Kasakkung: Devit Lungmanae hoi kângingnae la ka sak han. BAWIPA nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a blameless way, When wilt thou come in unto me? I will walk to and fro in the blamelessness of my heart, —in the midst of my house:

Ka kuep e lamthung dawk lungang lahoi ka hring han. Oe, nâtuek ne kai koe na tho han vai. Ka imthungkhu dawk ka thoung e lungthin hoi ka o han.

3 I will not set before mine eyes, a vile thing, —The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto me;

Ka mithmu vah hawihoehnae banghai ka tat mahoeh. Katâlawnaw ni tawksaknae hah ka hmuhma teh, kai dawk kâbet mahoeh.

4 A perverse heart, shall depart from me, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

Lungthin longkawinae ni na ceitakhai vaiteh, hawihoehnae hah ka panuek mahoeh.

5 He that uttereth slander in secret against his friend, him, will I root out; One of lofty eyes, and of an ambitious heart, him shall I not be able to endure.

Arulahoi a imri ka pathoe e pueng ka raphoe vaiteh, a minhmai kâoup niteh, a lungpouk ka rasang e naw hah ka panguep mahoeh.

6 Mine eyes, shall be upon the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, —he that walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

Yuemkamcu e khocanaw teh kai koe ao awh nahanelah, ka khetyawt han. Ka kuep e lamthung ka dawn e ni kaie thaw a tawk awh han.

7 There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, —he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine eyes;

Tami ka dumyen e teh, ka im dawk awm mahoeh. Laithoe kadeinaw teh, ka hmalah pou awm awh mahoeh.

8 Morning by morning, will I uproot, All the lawless ones of the land, That I may cut off, out of the city of Yahweh—All the workers of iniquity.

Hawihoehnae ka sak e naw hah BAWIPA e khopui dawk hoi raphoe nahanlah, tamikathoutnaw pueng teh palang a raphoe han toe.
