Psalms 26

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

Aw Bawipa, ak thym na awi ni deng lah; coet a kap kaana khaw ka sak a dawngawh; kaw cak doena ni Bawipa ce ka ypnaak.

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

Aw Bawipa, ni noekdak nawh, ni nai plak plak lah, kam thin ka kyl ve ni silh pe lah.

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

Na lungnaak ve ka haiawh awm poepa nawh, nak awitak awh ka ceh poepa a dawngawh.

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

Qaai ak kqawn thlang mi am ngawi haih man nyng saw, ak hoel qu thlangkhqi ing am pyi qu man nih nyng.

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

Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ang cunnaak ce tyih nyng saw thlak chekhqi ing ngawih haih aham awm tha na nyng.

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

Coet kap kaana kut ve sil nyng saw, Bawipa na bawkthang a kengsam awh cet vang.

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

Namah kyihcahnaak ce khawteh na khypyi nyng saw kawpoek kyi ik-oeih na saikhqi boeih ce kqawn vang.

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

Aw Bawipa, na awmnaak im, na boeimang a awmnaak hun ce thin tlawh na nyng.

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

Ka hqingnaak ve, thlak thawlhkhqi, thlang a thi ak ngaihkhqi mi koeh lawh sih.

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

Ami kut awh ce ak che cainaak awm nawh amik tang ben kutkhqi awm ang hyp ik-oeih peeknaak ing be uhy.

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

Cehlai, kai taw coet kap kaana khaw ka sak dawngawh, ni hul nawh nim qeen lah.

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

Ka khaw ve hun a nepnaak awh dyi nawh; thlangkqeng ang cunnaak awh Bawipa ce kyihcah kaw.
