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.
Na Rawiri. Whakawakia ahau, e Ihowa, kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o toku ngakau: kua whakawhirinaki ano ki a Ihowa, na, e kore e paheke.
2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.
3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;
7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
Kei huia toku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me toku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.
10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
He mahi nanakia hoki ta o ratou ringa; ki tonu o ratou matau i te utu whakapati.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.
12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.
