Psalms 26

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

Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Onnejjeereze, Ayi Mukama, kubanga obulamu bwange tebuliiko kya kunenyezebwa; nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, nga sibuusabuusa.

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

Neetegereza, Ayi Mukama, ongezese; weekalirize ebiri mu mutima gwange ne mu mmeeme yange.

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

Kubanga okwagala kwo kwe kunkulembera, era mu mazima go mwe ntambulira.

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

Situula na bantu balimba, so siteesaganya na bakuusa.

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

Nkyawa ekibiina ky’aboonoonyi; so situula na bakozi ba bibi.

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

Naaba mu ngalo zange okulaga nga bwe sirina misango; ne ndyoka nzija ku Kyoto kyo, Ayi Mukama;

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

ne nnyimba oluyimba olw’okwebaza, olwogera ku bikolwa byo ebyewuunyisa.

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

Ennyumba yo mw’obeera njagala, Ayi Mukama, kye kifo ekijjudde ekitiibwa kyo.

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

Tombalira mu boonoonyi, wadde mu batemu,

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

abakozesa emikono gyabwe okutegeka ebikolwa ebibi, era abali b’enguzi.

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

Naye nze ntambula nga siriiko kye nnenyezebwa; nkwatirwa ekisa, Ayi Mukama, ondokole.

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

Nnyimiridde watereevu. Nnaatenderezanga Mukama mu kibiina ky’abantu ekinene.
