< Masalimo 26 >
1 Salimo la Davide. Weruzeni Inu Yehova pakuti ndakhala moyo wosalakwa. Ndadalira Yehova popanda kugwedezeka.
Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Patseni mayeso, Inu Yehova ndipo ndiyeseni, santhulani mtima wanga ndi maganizo anga;
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 pakuti chikondi chanu chili pamaso panga nthawi zonse, ndipo ndimayenda mʼchoonadi chanu nthawi zonse.
For your loving kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in your truth.
4 Ine sindikhala pansi pamodzi ndi anthu achinyengo, kapena kufunsa nzeru kwa achiphamaso.
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 Ndimanyansidwa ndi msonkhano wa anthu ochita zoyipa ndipo ndimakana kukhala pansi pamodzi ndi oyipa.
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 Ndimasamba mʼmanja mwanga kuonetsa kusalakwa kwanga ndi kupita kukatumikira pa guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova,
I will wash mine hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O LORD:
7 kulengeza mofuwula za matamando anu ndi kuwuza onse za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa.
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 Ndimakonda Nyumba imene Inu Yehova mumakhalamo, malo amene ulemerero wanu umapezekako.
LORD, I have loved the habitation of your house, and the place where your honour dwells.
9 Musachotse moyo wanga pamodzi ndi ochimwa, moyo wanga pamodzi ndi anthu akupha anzawo,
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 amene mʼmanja mwawo muli ndondomeko zoyipa, dzanja lawo lamanja ladzaza ndi ziphuphu.
In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 Koma ine ndimakhala moyo wosalakwa; mu msonkhano wa anthu anu ndidzatamanda Yehova.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 Ndayima pa malo wopanda zovuta ndipo ndidzatamanda Yehova mu msonkhano waukulu.
My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
