< Psalms 26 >
1 By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova; he naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: naʻaku falala foki kia Sihova; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u hekea.
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
ʻAhiʻahiʻi au, ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻiloʻi au; ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto.
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
He ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa pea naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni.
4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
Naʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau tangata angakovi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki loto mo e kau mālualoi.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he fakataha ʻoe kau fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau angahala.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,
Te u fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻe pehē pe ʻeku kāpui ho ʻesifeilaulau, ʻE Sihova:
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea fakamatala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻofa ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ho fale, mo e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hoʻo ʻafio.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men
ʻOua naʻa ke fakataha hoku laumālie mo e kau angahala, pe ko ʻeku moʻui mo e kau tangata pani toto:
10 in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae pauʻu, pea ʻoku fonu honau nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakahē.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
Ka ko au, te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: ke ke huhuʻi au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au.
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
ʻOku tuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu tokamālie: ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kakai te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
