Psalms 26
1 Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
ElikaDavida. Veza ukungabi lacala kwami, Thixo, ngoba sengiphile impilo engelansolo; ngihlezi ngimethemba uThixo ngingaxhamandi.
2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
Ngilinga, Oh Thixo, ungizame, hlola inhliziyo yami lengqondo yami;
3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
ngoba uthando Lwakho luhlezi luphambi kwami, njalo kokuphela ngihamba eqinisweni Lakho.
4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
Kangidlelani labantu abakhohlisayo njalo kangiwelelani labazenzisi;
5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
ngiyawenyanya umbuthano wezigangi; njalo ngiyala ukuhlala lezixhwali.
6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
Ngigeza izandla zami ngokungelacala, bese ngilizungeza i-alithari Lakho, Oh Thixo,
7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
ngimemezele ngamandla indumiso Yakho ngibatshele bonke ngemisebenzi Yakho eyisimanga.
8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
Ngiyayithanda indlu ohlala kuyo, Oh Thixo, indawo lapho inkazimulo Yakho ehlala khona.
9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
Ungamukisi umphefumulo wami ndawonye lowezoni, impilo yami kanye lalabo abomele igazi,
10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
ozandla zabo zilamacebo amabi, ozandla zabo zokunene zifumbethe izivalamlomo.
11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
Kodwa mina ngiphila impilo engelasici; ngihlenga ube lesihawu kimi.
12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
Inyawo zami zimi emhlabathini ochayileyo; ngizamdumisa uThixo emhlanganweni omkhulu.
