Psalms 26

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.

Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

3 For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.

Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

4 I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

5 I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,

Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

8 LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

10 In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
