< Psalms 26 >

1 Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
E HOOPONO mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua hele au me ko'u pono: Ua hilinai au ia Iehova, aole au e pahee.
2 Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.
E huli oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoike ia'u; E hoao mai oe i kuu puupaa a me kuu naau.
3 For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.
No ka mea, imua o ko'u mau maka kou lokomaikai; A ma kau olelo oiaio i hele ai au.
4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.
Aole au i noho pu me ka poe hookano; Aole hoi e komo pu me ka poe hookamani wale.
5 I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.
Ua hoowahawaha au i ke anaina o ka poe hana ino; Aole hoi e noho pu au me ka poe hewa.
6 I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,
E holoi au i kuu mau lima me ka hala ole; Pela hoi au e hoopuni ai i kou kuahu, e Iehova;
7 to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.
E hoike aku au me ka leo hoomaikai, A e hai aku hoi i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.
E Iehova, ua makemake au i ka noho ana o kou hale, A me ka wahi e noho ai kou nani.
9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,
Mai houluulu oe i ko'u uhane me ka poe hewa; Aole hoi i kuu ola me na kanaka koko:
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.
11 But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.
A owau nei la, e hele au me kuu pono; E hoola mai oe ia'u, a e aloha mai ia'u.
12 My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
Ke ku nei kuu wawae ma kahi maniania; Maloko o na anaina e hoomaikai aku ai au ia Iehova.
