Psalms 26
1 “Of David.” Judge me, O Lord; for I have indeed walked in my integrity: and in the Lord have I trusted; I shall not slip.
Na Rawiri. Whakawakia ahau, e Ihowa, kua haere nei hoki ahau i te tapatahitanga o toku ngakau: kua whakawhirinaki ano ki a Ihowa, na, e kore e paheke.
2 Try me, O Lord, and prove me; purify my reins and my heart.
Tirohia iho ahau, e Ihowa, whakamatauria ahau, kia kitea oku whatumanawa me toku ngakau.
3 For thy kindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.
Kei mua hoki tou atawhai i oku kanohi; kua haere nei ahau i tou pono.
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].
Kahore ahau i noho tahi ki nga tangata horihori; e kore ano ahau e tomo tahi me nga tangata tinihanga.
5 I have hated the assemblage of evil-doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.
Kino tonu ahau ki te whakaminenga o nga kaimahi i te he, e kore ano ahau e noho tahi ki te hunga kino.
6 I will wash in innocency my hands, and I will compass thy altar, O Lord:
Ka horoia e ahau oku ringa ki te harakore, ka taiawhio ai i tau aata, e Ihowa;
7 That I may publish with a loud voice [my] thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.
A ka rangona toku reo e whakamoemiti ana, e whakapuaki ana i au mahi whakamiharo katoa.
8 Lord, I love the site of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
E Ihowa, kua aroha nei ahau ki tou whare nohoanga, ki te wahi e nohoia ana e tou kororia.
9 Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;
Kei huia toku wairua ki roto ki te hunga hara, me toku ora ki roto ki te hunga toto.
10 In whose hands are wicked devices, and whose right hand is full of bribes.
He mahi nanakia hoki ta o ratou ringa; ki tonu o ratou matau i te utu whakapati.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
Ko ahau ia, ka haere i runga i toku tapatahi: hokona ahau, tohungia hoki ahau.
12 My foot standeth on an even place: in assemblies will I bless the Lord.
E tu ana toku waewae i te wahi tika: ka whakapaingia a Ihowa e ahau i roto i nga whakaminenga.
