< 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.
Abụ Ọma Devid. Onyenwe anyị, biko kpepụta m, nʼihi na ebiela m ndụ zuruoke; atụkwasịrị m Onyenwe anyị obi, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.
3 For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
Nʼihi na ejirila m ịhụnanya gị mere ihe nlere anya nye onwe m. Ana m ejegharịkwa nʼime eziokwu gị.
4 I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
Mụ na ndị na-aghọ aghụghọ adịghị enwe mmekọ ọbụla. Otu a kwa, nnwekọ ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼetiti mụ na ndị ihu abụọ.
5 I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
Akpọrọ m otu ndị na-emebi iwu asị. Mụ na ndị ajọ omume agaghị anọkọkwa.
6 I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
Ana m asacha aka m abụọ nʼọnọdụ emeghị ihe ọjọọ, na-eje ozi nʼebe ịchụ aja gị ife gị ofufe, o Onyenwe anyị.
7 so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
Ana m abụkwa abụ ekele, jiri iti mkpu na-ekwusa otuto gị, na ọrụ ebube gị niile.
8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m ụlọ obibi gị nʼanya, ụlọ ahụ ebe ebube gị na-adịgide nʼime ya.
9 O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,
10 in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
ndị aka ha jupụtara nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ, aka nri ha jupụtakwara na ngarị.
11 But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.
12 My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.
