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.

Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Nditongerei, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndakararama upenyu husina chahungapomerwa; ndakavimba naJehovha ndisingazungunuki.

2 Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

Ndiedzei, imi Jehovha, ndinzverei, nzverai mwoyo wangu nendangariro dzangu;

3 For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

nokuti rudo rwenyu rwuri pamberi pangu nguva dzose, uye ndinogara ndichifamba muzvokwadi yenyu.

4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

Handigari navanhu vanonyengera, kana kufambidzana navanyengeri;

5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

ndinovenga ungano yavaiti vezvakaipa, uye ndinoramba kugara navakaipa.

6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

Ndinoshamba maoko angu ndisina mhaka, uye ndinofamba-famba paaritari yenyu, imi Jehovha,

7 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

ndichiparidza rumbidzo yenyu nenzwi guru, uye ndichireva zvamabasa enyu ose anoshamisa.

8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

Ndinoda imba yamunogara, imi Jehovha, nzvimbo inogara kubwinya kwenyu.

9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

Regai kubatanidza mweya wangu navatadzi, noupenyu hwangu navanoteura ropa,

10 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

vana maoko akabata zvakaipa, vazere nefufuro mumaoko avo orudyi.

11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

Asi ini ndinogara upenyu husina chahungapomerwa; ndidzikinurei uye mundinzwire ngoni.

12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.

Tsoka dzangu dzimire pakati chechetere; ndicharumbidza Jehovha paungano huru.
