Psalms 101

1 A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

ElikaDavida. Ihubo. Ngizahlabelela ngothando lwakho lokwahlulela kwakho okuhle; kuwe, Oh Thixo, ngizahlabelela indumiso.

2 I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

Ngizananzelela ukuthi ngiphile impilo engasolekiyo uzakuza nini kimi na? Ngizahamba endlini yami ngenhliziyo engasolekiyo.

3 I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.

Phambi kwamehlo ami angiyikubeka lutho olungcolileyo. Izenzo zabantu abangakholwayo ngiyazizonda; kazizukunginamathela.

4 Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.

Abantu abalenhliziyo exhwalileyo bazakuba khatshana lami; angiyikuhambelana lobubi.

5 I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

Lowo ochothoza umakhelwane wakhe ngasese, lowo ngizamthulisa; olamehlo asesiphundu lenhliziyo ezigqajayo, lowo kangilasikhathi laye.

6 I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.

Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo elizweni, ukuthi bahlale lami; lowo okuhamba kwakhe kakulansolo uzangisebenzela ekhonza kimi.

7 Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome before my eyes.

Kakho othanda ukwenza inkohliso ozahlala endlini yami; kakho okhuluma amanga ozakuma phambi kwami.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.

Zonke insuku ekuseni ngizabathulisa bonke ababi phakathi kwelizwe; ngizamlahla phansi wonke umuntu oyisigangi edolobheni likaThixo.
