Psalms 101

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

1 Nitaimba juu ya upendo wako na haki yako; kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, nitaimba sifa.

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

2 Nitazingatia kuishi maisha yasiyo na lawama: utakuja kwangu lini? Nitatembea nyumbani mwangu kwa moyo usio na lawama.

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

3 Sitaweka mbele ya macho yangu kitu kiovu. Ninayachukia matendo ya watu wasio na imani; hawatashikamana nami.

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

4 Moyo wa ukaidi utakuwa mbali nami; nitajitenga na kila ubaya.

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

5 Kila amsingiziaye jirani yake kwa siri, huyo nitamnyamazisha; mwenye macho ya dharau na moyo wa kiburi huyo sitamvumilia.

6 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.

6 Macho yangu yatawaelekea waaminifu katika nchi, ili waweze kuishi pamoja nami; yeye ambaye moyo wake hauna lawama atanitumikia.

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

7 Mdanganyifu hatakaa nyumbani mwangu, yeye asemaye kwa uongo hatasimama mbele yangu.

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

8 Kila asubuhi nitawanyamazisha waovu wote katika nchi; nitamkatilia mbali kila mtenda mabaya kutoka mji wa Bwana.
