< Psalms 26 >

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.
2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,
3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,
7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.
8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,
10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.
12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
