Amahubo 101

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

A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, To You, O YHWH, I sing praise.

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

I act wisely in a perfect way, When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

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

I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, I have hated the work of those turning aside, It does not adhere to me.

4 Abantu abalenhliziyo exhwalileyo bazakuba khatshana lami; angiyikuhambelana lobubi.

A perverse heart turns aside from me, I do not know wickedness.

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

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, Him I do not endure.

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

My eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoever is walking in a perfect way, he serves me.

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

He who is working deceit does not dwell in my house, Whoever is speaking lies is not established before my eyes.

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

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