Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

Nataon’ i Davida.

2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

Diniho aho, Jehovah ô, ka fantaro; izahao toetra ny voako sy ny foko.

3 For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy truth.

Fa ny famindram-ponao no eo anoloan’ ny masoko; ary mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho.

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

Tsy mba miara-mipetraka amin’ ny olon-dratsy aho, na manan-draharaha amin’ ny olom-petsy.

5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

Halako ny fiangonan’ ny mpanao ratsy; ary tsy miara-mipetraka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy aho.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Lord:

Manasa ny tanako noho ny fahamarinako aho, ka te-hitoetra eo akaikin’ ny alitaranao, Jehovah ô,

7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works.

Mba hanao feo fiderana, ka hilaza ny asanao mahagaga rehetra.

8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the tabernacle of thy glory.

Jehovah ô, tiako ny trano itoeranao, dia ny fonenan’ ny voninahitrao.

9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

Aza mitondra ny fanahiko hiara-maty amin’ ny mpanota, na ny aiko amin’ ny mpandatsa-drà,

10 in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

Izay misy fitaka eny an-tànany, ary feno kolikoly ny tànany ankavanana.

11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

Fa izaho kosa dia mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinako; avoty sy amindrao fo aho.

12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless thee, O Lord.

Ny tongotro mijoro eo amin’ ny tany marina; eo am-piangonana no isaorako an’ i Jehovah.
