Psalms 101

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

Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Èmi yóò kọrin ìfẹ́ àti òdodo; sí ọ Olúwa, èmi yóò máa kọrin ìyìn.

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:

Èmi yóò máa rin ìrìn mi pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n láìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ìgbà wo ni ìwọ yóò wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi? Èmi yóò máa rìn ní ilé mi pẹ̀lú àyà pípé.

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;

Èmi kì yóò gbé ohun búburú sí iwájú mi: iṣẹ́ àwọn tí ó yapa ni èmi kórìíra. Wọn kì yóò rọ̀ mọ́ mi.

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

Agídí ọkàn yóò kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi; èmi kì yóò mọ ènìyàn búburú.

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.

Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń sọ̀rọ̀ ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, òun ní èmi yóò gé kúrò ẹni tí ó bá gbé ojú rẹ̀ ga tí ó sì ní ìgbéraga àyà, òun ní èmi kì yóò faradà fún.

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.

Ojú mi yóò wà lára àwọn olóòtítọ́ lórí ilẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè máa bá mi gbé; ẹni tí ó bá n rin ọ̀nà pípé òun ni yóò máa sìn mí.

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;

Ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe ẹ̀tàn, kì yóò gbé ilé mi, kò sí ẹni tí ń ṣèké tí yóò dúró ní iwájú mi.

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.

Ní ojoojúmọ́ ní èmi yóò wá máa pa a lẹ́nu mọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn búburú ilẹ̀ náà; èmi yóò gé àwọn olùṣe búburú kúrò ní ìlú Olúwa.
