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.

IEOWA kom kotin jauaja ia, pwe I kekeit wei ni melel, I kin liki Ieowa, i jota pan luetala

2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

Main kom kotin kajaui ia da o kajonejon ia, o kamakelekele mudilik I kan o monion i.

3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

Pwe I aja duen omui kalanan, o I kin weweid ni omui melel.

4 I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

I jota kin mondi ren aramaj aklapalap akan, o I jota kin waroki on me morjued akan.

5 I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

I kin tataki pokon en mejued akan, o i jota kin mondi ren me japun kan.

6 I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

I omiomi ki makelekel o i kin pok on japwilim omui pei jaraui, Main, Ieowa.

7 That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

Waja I pan kapikapina, nil laudeta o padak duen omui manaman akan karoj.

8 Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

Main Ieowa, I kin pok on wajan tanpaj omui, o wajan ar linan.

9 Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;

Kom der kotin kajapoke ia la ianaki me dipan akan, de maur I ianaki me kamela aramaj akan.

10 In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.

Pwe pa arail me dir en morjued o re ki men ale kijakij.

11 But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

A nai kin weweid ni makelekel. Dore ia la o kotin maki on ia!

12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

Na I kin aluwei pun. I pan kapina Ieowa nan momodijo kan.
