Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

Ngizahlabela ngomusa lesahlulelo; ngizahlabela kuwe, Nkosi.

2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

Ngizaziphatha ngenhlakanipho ngendlela eqotho. Uzakuza nini kimi? Ngizahamba ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami phakathi kwendlu yami.

3 I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

Kangiyikubeka phambi kwamehlo ami into embi. Ngiyakuzonda ukwenza kwabaphambukayo; kakuyikunamathela kimi.

4 A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

Inhliziyo ephambeneyo izasuka kimi; kangiyikumazi omubi.

5 Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

Ohleba umakhelwane wakhe ensitha, yena ngizamquma. Ophakeme ngamehlo, lolenhliziyo ezikhukhumezayo, yena kangiyikumvumela.

6 Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo belizwe, ukuze bahlale lami. Ohamba endleleni eqotho, yena uzangikhonza.

7 He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

Owenza inkohliso kayikuhlala phakathi kwendlu yami; okhuluma amanga kayikuma phambi kwamehlo ami.

8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!

Insuku zonke ekuseni ngizabaquma bonke ababi belizwe, ukuze ngibaqume basuke emzini weNkosi bonke abenzi bobubi.
