< Psalms 26 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nduĩra itua rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa nĩmĩkindĩrĩku; ndũũrĩte ndĩhokete Jehova itegũthangania.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
Wee Jehova, ngeria na ũndorie, tuĩria ngoro yakwa o na meciiria makwa;
3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
nĩgũkorwo wendo waku ũkoragwo ũrĩ mbere yakwa, na ngeragĩra njĩra-inĩ yaku ya ũhoro wa ma.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
Ndiikaranagia na andũ a maheeni, o na kana ngagwatanĩra na andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
Nĩthũire kĩũngano kĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, na ngarega gũikarania na andũ arĩa aaganu.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
Ngwĩthamba moko nyonanie ndirĩ na mahĩtia, thiũrũrũke kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova,
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
nyine nyanĩrĩire rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho, na heane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe cia magegania.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
Wee Jehova, nĩnyendete nyũmba ĩrĩa ũtũũraga, o handũ harĩa riiri waku ũikaraga.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
Ndũkeherie ngoro yakwa hamwe na ya arĩa mehagia, kana muoyo wakwa hamwe na wa andũ arĩa maitaga thakame,
10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
arĩa marĩ na maũndũ ma waganu moko-inĩ mao, o arĩa moko mao ma ũrĩo maiyũrĩte mahaki.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
No niĩ-rĩ, ndũũraga mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke; kĩngũũre na ũnjiguĩre tha.
12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
Magũrũ makwa marũgamĩte handũ harĩa haigananu; nĩndĩrĩgoocaga Jehova ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene.
