Psalms 26

1 [By David.] Judge me, YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in YHWH without wavering.

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

2 Examine me, YHWH, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your 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 deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, 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 my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, YHWH;

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

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

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

8 YHWH, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

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

10 in whose hands is wickedness, 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 my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless YHWH.

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