Amahubo 101

1 Ngizahlabela ngomusa lesahlulelo; ngizahlabela kuwe, Nkosi.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

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

I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

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

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4 Inhliziyo ephambeneyo izasuka kimi; kangiyikumazi omubi.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

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

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

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

My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

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

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

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

Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
