Psalms 26

1 A psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.

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

2 Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!

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

3 For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

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

4 I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

6 I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,

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

7 to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.

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

8 Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!

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

9 Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,

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

10 in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

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

11 But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.

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

12 My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!

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