Psalms 26

1 “A psalm of David.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

2 Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!

Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

3 For thy kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.

Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

4 I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.

Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

5 I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not sit with the wicked.

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

6 I wash my hands in innocence. And go around thine altar. O LORD!

Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

7 To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

8 O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!

Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

9 Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,

Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

10 In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!

ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

11 But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!

Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

12 My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.

Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
