Psalms 101

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

E OLI no wau i ka lokomaikai, a me ka hoopono; Ia oe no wau, e Iehova, e hoolea aku ai.

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:

E hana naauno no wau ma ka aoao o ka pono. Ahea la oe e hele mai ai ia'u? E holoholo no wau maloko o ko'u hale, Me ka pono o ko'u naau.

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;

Aole au e kau i ka hewa imua o ko'u mau maka; Ua inaina aku au i ka mea hana ino, Aole ia e pili mai ia'u.

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

E haalele anauei ka naau kekee ia'u, Aole au e ike aku i ke kanaka hewa.

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.

O ka mea ahiahi malu i kona hoalauna, Oia ka'u e hooki aku; O ka mea maka hookiekie, a naau hookano hoi, Aole au e hoomanawanui ia ia.

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.

Aia uo ko'u mau maka ma ka poe oiaio o ka aina, I noho mai ai lakou me au. O ka mea hele ma ka aoao o ka pono, Nana no e hookauwa mai na'u.

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;

Aole e noho iloko o ko'u hale ka mea hana hoopunipuni; Aole e noho ma ko'u alo, ka mea olelo wahahee.

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.

E hooki koke no wau i ka poe hewa a pau o ka aina, I hoopau wau i ka poe hana hewa a pau, Mai ke kulanakauhale o Iehova aku.
