Psalms 26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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