Sam 26

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA, nang ni kai lawk na ceng haw, lungcaknae hoi ka cei teh BAWIPA nang na kâuep dawkvah ka kâhuen mahoeh.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 Kai hah na noumcai nateh, oe BAWIPA, ka lung ni a ngai e naw hoi ka pouknae hah na khen pouh haw.

Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.

3 Ka cak e na lungpatawnae lamthung kai na patue haw, yuemkamcunae ni pou na hrawi.

For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.

4 Dumyennae hoi cungtalah ka hmawng hoeh. Tami kahawihoehnaw hai ka hmawng hoeh.

I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 Tami kahawihoehnaw e kamkhuengnae hah ka hmuhma, Tamikathoutnaw hoi reirei ka tahung hoeh.

I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 Ka kut heh thoungnae hoi ka pâsu teh BAWIPA namae thuengnae ka lawngven.

I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,

7 Lunghawilawkdeinae la ka sak teh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka dei.

That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

8 BAWIPA na onae im hah kai lungpataw teh na bawilennae hmuen hah kai ni ka ngai.

LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

9 Tamikayonnaw koe kai mek thei sin hanlah tami kathetnaw koe kai na tâkhawng sin hanh.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

10 Ahnimouh teh hawihoehnae yungyoe a sak awh. Tadawnghno ka ngai e taminaw doeh.

In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 Kai teh hnokahawi hoeh e ka sak, na pahren nateh na rungngang haw.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12 Hnâroumcalah tanghling dawk ka kangdue teh maya a kamkhuengnae koe BAWIPA nang na pholen.

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
