Psalms 101

1 Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Èmi yóò kọrin ìfẹ́ àti òdodo; sí ọ Olúwa, èmi yóò máa kọrin ìyìn.

A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

2 Èmi yóò máa rin ìrìn mi pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n láìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ìgbà wo ni ìwọ yóò wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi? Èmi yóò máa rìn ní ilé mi pẹ̀lú àyà pípé.

And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Èmi kì yóò gbé ohun búburú sí iwájú mi: iṣẹ́ àwọn tí ó yapa ni èmi kórìíra. Wọn kì yóò rọ̀ mọ́ mi.

I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

4 Agídí ọkàn yóò kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi; èmi kì yóò mọ ènìyàn búburú.

The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

5 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń sọ̀rọ̀ ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, òun ní èmi yóò gé kúrò ẹni tí ó bá gbé ojú rẹ̀ ga tí ó sì ní ìgbéraga àyà, òun ní èmi kì yóò faradà fún.

The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

6 Ojú mi yóò wà lára àwọn olóòtítọ́ lórí ilẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè máa bá mi gbé; ẹni tí ó bá n rin ọ̀nà pípé òun ni yóò máa sìn mí.

My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

7 Ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe ẹ̀tàn, kì yóò gbé ilé mi, kò sí ẹni tí ń ṣèké tí yóò dúró ní iwájú mi.

He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

8 Ní ojoojúmọ́ ní èmi yóò wá máa pa a lẹ́nu mọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn búburú ilẹ̀ náà; èmi yóò gé àwọn olùṣe búburú kúrò ní ìlú Olúwa.

In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
