Masalimo 26
1 Salimo la Davide. Weruzeni Inu Yehova pakuti ndakhala moyo wosalakwa. Ndadalira Yehova popanda kugwedezeka.
Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
2 Patseni mayeso, Inu Yehova ndipo ndiyeseni, santhulani mtima wanga ndi maganizo anga;
Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.
3 pakuti chikondi chanu chili pamaso panga nthawi zonse, ndipo ndimayenda mʼchoonadi chanu nthawi zonse.
For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.
4 Ine sindikhala pansi pamodzi ndi anthu achinyengo, kapena kufunsa nzeru kwa achiphamaso.
I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.
5 Ndimanyansidwa ndi msonkhano wa anthu ochita zoyipa ndipo ndimakana kukhala pansi pamodzi ndi oyipa.
I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 Ndimasamba mʼmanja mwanga kuonetsa kusalakwa kwanga ndi kupita kukatumikira pa guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova,
I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,
7 kulengeza mofuwula za matamando anu ndi kuwuza onse za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa.
to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.
8 Ndimakonda Nyumba imene Inu Yehova mumakhalamo, malo amene ulemerero wanu umapezekako.
O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.
9 Musachotse moyo wanga pamodzi ndi ochimwa, moyo wanga pamodzi ndi anthu akupha anzawo,
Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,
10 amene mʼmanja mwawo muli ndondomeko zoyipa, dzanja lawo lamanja ladzaza ndi ziphuphu.
in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
11 Koma ine ndimakhala moyo wosalakwa; mu msonkhano wa anthu anu ndidzatamanda Yehova.
But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.
12 Ndayima pa malo wopanda zovuta ndipo ndidzatamanda Yehova mu msonkhano waukulu.
My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
