< Amahubo 101 >
1 Ngizahlabela ngomusa lesahlulelo; ngizahlabela kuwe, Nkosi.
A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.
2 Ngizaziphatha ngenhlakanipho ngendlela eqotho. Uzakuza nini kimi? Ngizahamba ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami phakathi kwendlu yami.
I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.
3 Kangiyikubeka phambi kwamehlo ami into embi. Ngiyakuzonda ukwenza kwabaphambukayo; kakuyikunamathela kimi.
I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.
4 Inhliziyo ephambeneyo izasuka kimi; kangiyikumazi omubi.
Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.
5 Ohleba umakhelwane wakhe ensitha, yena ngizamquma. Ophakeme ngamehlo, lolenhliziyo ezikhukhumezayo, yena kangiyikumvumela.
I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.
6 Amehlo ami azakuba kwabathembekileyo belizwe, ukuze bahlale lami. Ohamba endleleni eqotho, yena uzangikhonza.
I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.
7 Owenza inkohliso kayikuhlala phakathi kwendlu yami; okhuluma amanga kayikuma phambi kwamehlo ami.
Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome before my eyes.
8 Insuku zonke ekuseni ngizabaquma bonke ababi belizwe, ukuze ngibaqume basuke emzini weNkosi bonke abenzi bobubi.
Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.
