Psalms 26

1 BY DAVID. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in YHWH, I do not slide.

Ngahlulela, Nkosi, ngoba mina ngihambe ngobuqotho bami, njalo ngithembele eNkosini, angiyikutshelela.

2 Try me, O YHWH, and prove me, My reins and my heart [are] purified,

Ngihlola, Nkosi, ungilinge, uhlole izinso zami lenhliziyo yami.

3 For Your kindness [is] before my eyes, And I have habitually walked in Your truth.

Ngoba uthandolomusa wakho luphambi kwamehlo ami, njalo ngihambe eqinisweni lakho.

4 I have not sat with vain men, And I do not enter with pretenders.

Kangihlalanga labantu benkohliso, kangihambelani labazenzisayo.

5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And I do not sit with the wicked.

Ngiyizondile inhlangano yabenzi bobubi, kangihlali lababi.

6 I wash my hands in innocence, And I go around Your altar, O YHWH.

Ngizageza izandla zami ngokungelacala, ngizingelezele ilathi lakho, Nkosi.

7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Your wonders.

Ukuze ngizwakalise ngelizwi lokubonga, lokuze ngilandise zonke izenzo zakho ezimangalisayo.

8 YHWH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place of the Dwelling Place of Your glory.

Nkosi, ngiyayithanda inhlalo yendlu yakho, lendawo yokuhlala yenkazimulo yakho.

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, And my life with men of blood,

Ungabuthi umphefumulo wami kanye lezoni, kumbe impilo yami kanye labantu abomele igazi.

10 In whose hand [is] a wicked scheme, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

Ozandla zabo zilobubi, lesandla sabo sokunene sigcwele izivalamlomo.

11 And I walk in my integrity, Redeem me, and favor me.

Kodwa mina ngizahamba ngobuqotho bami; ngihlenga, ube lomusa kimi.

12 My foot has stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless YHWH!

Unyawo lwami lumi endaweni elingeneyo; ngizayidumisa iNkosi emabandleni.
