Psalms 26
1 Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.
David kah Aw BOEIPA, kai he lai han tloek lah. Thincaknah neh ka cet tih BOEIPA te ka pangtung dongah ka dinghae pawh.
2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
Aw BOEIPA kai he n'loepdak lamtah kai n'noemcai lah. Ka kuel neh lungbuei he picai la picai mai.
3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
Ka mik dongah na sitlohnah ka hmaitang tih na oltak dongah ka cet.
4 I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
Hlang taengah a poeyoek la ka ngol pawt tih aka thuhrhawk neh ka yok pawh.
5 I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
Thaehuet rhoek kah a ngolhlung te ka thiinah tih halang rhoek taengah ka ngol pawh.
6 I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
Ka kut he cimnah neh ka silh tih, BOEIPA nang kah hmueihtuk te ka hil he,
7 That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
Uemonah ol te ka doek tih namah kah khobaerhambae boeih te ka tae.
8 Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
Aw BOEIPA, na lum-im khuirhung neh na thangpomnah dungtlungim hmuen te ka lungnah.
9 Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
Ka hinglu he hlangtholh rhoek neh, ka hingnah he thii aka hal hlang rhoek taengla coi boeh.
10 In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
Amih kut dongah boethae om tih a bantang kut ah kapbaih a poem uh.
11 But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
Tedae kai tah kamah thincaknah neh ka cet. Kai n'lat lamtah kai n'rhen lah.
12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
Ka kho he tlangkol ah pai tih khangkhung lakli ah BOEIPA te a yoethen pai ni.
