Psalms 101

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

David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, madzi ha le wò lɔlɔ̃ kple afia nyui tsotso ŋuti, eye madzi kafukafuha na wò.

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.

Makpɔ nyuie be menɔ agbe si ŋu mokaka mele o, eya ta gbe ka gbe nàva asrãm kpɔ? Mazɔ le aƒenye me kple dzi si ŋuti mokaka mele o.

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

Nyematsɔ nu si me vɔ̃ le la aɖo nye ŋkume o. Metsri xɔsemanɔsitɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo, womalé ɖe ŋunye o.

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

Ame siwo ƒe dzi to vo la, ate ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye, kadodo aɖeke mele nye kple nu vɔ̃ɖi dome o.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbour. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

Made ga nu na ame si ƒo ɖi ehavi ƒe ŋkɔ le bebeme, eye ame si ŋku gã le esi eye wòdana le dzi me la, eya nyematɔ ɖe egbɔ o.

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.

Nye ŋku anɔ nuteƒewɔlawo ŋu le anyigba dzi, be woanɔ anyi kplim. Ame si fɔɖiɖi mele eƒe zɔzɔme ŋu o la, anye nye nunɔla.

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

Ame si nye ameblela la, manɔ aƒenye me o, eye ame si daa alakpa la matsi tsitre ɖe ŋkunye me o.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, mana ame vɔ̃ɖi siwo le anyigba dzi la nazi ɖoɖoe. Maɖe nu tovo wɔla ɖe sia ɖe ɖa le Yehowa ƒe du la me.
