Psalms 26
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
E HOOPONO mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua hele au me ko'u pono: Ua hilinai au ia Iehova, aole au e pahee.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
E huli oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoike ia'u; E hoao mai oe i kuu puupaa a me kuu naau.
3 For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
No ka mea, imua o ko'u mau maka kou lokomaikai; A ma kau olelo oiaio i hele ai au.
4 I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
Aole au i noho pu me ka poe hookano; Aole hoi e komo pu me ka poe hookamani wale.
5 I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
Ua hoowahawaha au i ke anaina o ka poe hana ino; Aole hoi e noho pu au me ka poe hewa.
6 I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
E holoi au i kuu mau lima me ka hala ole; Pela hoi au e hoopuni ai i kou kuahu, e Iehova;
7 so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
E hoike aku au me ka leo hoomaikai, A e hai aku hoi i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
E Iehova, ua makemake au i ka noho ana o kou hale, A me ka wahi e noho ai kou nani.
9 O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
Mai houluulu oe i ko'u uhane me ka poe hewa; Aole hoi i kuu ola me na kanaka koko:
10 in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.
11 But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
A owau nei la, e hele au me kuu pono; E hoola mai oe ia'u, a e aloha mai ia'u.
12 My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
Ke ku nei kuu wawae ma kahi maniania; Maloko o na anaina e hoomaikai aku ai au ia Iehova.
