Psalms 26

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

Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.

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

Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,

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

pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.

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

Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.

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

Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.

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

Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,

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

mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.

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

Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.

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

Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,

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

oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.

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

Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.

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

Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
