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.
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, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.
Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.
3 For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.
Nʼihi na ejirila m ịhụnanya gị mere ihe nlere anya nye onwe m. Ana m ejegharịkwa nʼime eziokwu gị.
4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.
Mụ na ndị na-aghọ aghụghọ adịghị enwe mmekọ ọbụla. Otu a kwa, nnwekọ ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼetiti mụ na ndị ihu abụọ.
5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.
Akpọrọ m otu ndị na-emebi iwu asị. Mụ na ndị ajọ omume agaghị anọkọkwa.
6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, 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 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.
Ana m abụkwa abụ ekele, jiri iti mkpu na-ekwusa otuto gị, na ọrụ ebube gị niile.
8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.
O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m ụlọ obibi gị nʼanya, ụlọ ahụ ebe ebube gị na-adịgide nʼime ya.
9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,
Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,
10 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.
ndị aka ha jupụtara nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ, aka nri ha jupụtakwara na ngarị.
11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!
Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.
12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.
