Amahubo 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.

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

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

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

I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 Abantu abalenhliziyo exhwalileyo bazakuba khatshana lami; angiyikuhambelana lobubi.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

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

Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

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

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

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

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.

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

Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
