Psalms 26
1 A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.
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, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.
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 I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.
No ka mea, imua o ko'u mau maka kou lokomaikai; A ma kau olelo oiaio i hele ai au.
4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.
Aole au i noho pu me ka poe hookano; Aole hoi e komo pu me ka poe hookamani wale.
5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.
Ua hoowahawaha au i ke anaina o ka poe hana ino; Aole hoi e noho pu au me ka poe hewa.
6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,
E holoi au i kuu mau lima me ka hala ole; Pela hoi au e hoopuni ai i kou kuahu, e Iehova;
7 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.
E hoike aku au me ka leo hoomaikai, A e hai aku hoi i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.
E Iehova, ua makemake au i ka noho ana o kou hale, A me ka wahi e noho ai kou nani.
9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,
Mai houluulu oe i ko'u uhane me ka poe hewa; Aole hoi i kuu ola me na kanaka koko:
10 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.
Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.
11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!
A owau nei la, e hele au me kuu pono; E hoola mai oe ia'u, a e aloha mai ia'u.
12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
Ke ku nei kuu wawae ma kahi maniania; Maloko o na anaina e hoomaikai aku ai au ia Iehova.
