Psalms 26

1 Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

Salimo la Davide. Weruzeni Inu Yehova pakuti ndakhala moyo wosalakwa. Ndadalira Yehova popanda kugwedezeka.

2 Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

Patseni mayeso, Inu Yehova ndipo ndiyeseni, santhulani mtima wanga ndi maganizo anga;

3 For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

pakuti chikondi chanu chili pamaso panga nthawi zonse, ndipo ndimayenda mʼchoonadi chanu nthawi zonse.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

Ine sindikhala pansi pamodzi ndi anthu achinyengo, kapena kufunsa nzeru kwa achiphamaso.

5 I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

Ndimanyansidwa ndi msonkhano wa anthu ochita zoyipa ndipo ndimakana kukhala pansi pamodzi ndi oyipa.

6 I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

Ndimasamba mʼmanja mwanga kuonetsa kusalakwa kwanga ndi kupita kukatumikira pa guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova,

7 to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

kulengeza mofuwula za matamando anu ndi kuwuza onse za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa.

8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

Ndimakonda Nyumba imene Inu Yehova mumakhalamo, malo amene ulemerero wanu umapezekako.

9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

Musachotse moyo wanga pamodzi ndi ochimwa, moyo wanga pamodzi ndi anthu akupha anzawo,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

amene mʼmanja mwawo muli ndondomeko zoyipa, dzanja lawo lamanja ladzaza ndi ziphuphu.

11 But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

Koma ine ndimakhala moyo wosalakwa; mu msonkhano wa anthu anu ndidzatamanda Yehova.

12 My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

Ndayima pa malo wopanda zovuta ndipo ndidzatamanda Yehova mu msonkhano waukulu.
