Psalms 26

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

Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

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

Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

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

Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

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

Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

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

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

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

Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

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

kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

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

Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

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

Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

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

ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

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

Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

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

Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
