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.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.

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

Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,

3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,

7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,

10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.

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

Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.

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

Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
