Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA, nang ni kai lawk na ceng haw, lungcaknae hoi ka cei teh BAWIPA nang na kâuep dawkvah ka kâhuen mahoeh.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Kai hah na noumcai nateh, oe BAWIPA, ka lung ni a ngai e naw hoi ka pouknae hah na khen pouh haw.

3 For thy loving-kindness [is] before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

Ka cak e na lungpatawnae lamthung kai na patue haw, yuemkamcunae ni pou na hrawi.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Dumyennae hoi cungtalah ka hmawng hoeh. Tami kahawihoehnaw hai ka hmawng hoeh.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

Tami kahawihoehnaw e kamkhuengnae hah ka hmuhma, Tamikathoutnaw hoi reirei ka tahung hoeh.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

Ka kut heh thoungnae hoi ka pâsu teh BAWIPA namae thuengnae ka lawngven.

7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Lunghawilawkdeinae la ka sak teh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka dei.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor dwelleth.

BAWIPA na onae im hah kai lungpataw teh na bawilennae hmuen hah kai ni ka ngai.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Tamikayonnaw koe kai mek thei sin hanlah tami kathetnaw koe kai na tâkhawng sin hanh.

10 In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

Ahnimouh teh hawihoehnae yungyoe a sak awh. Tadawnghno ka ngai e taminaw doeh.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Kai teh hnokahawi hoeh e ka sak, na pahren nateh na rungngang haw.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Hnâroumcalah tanghling dawk ka kangdue teh maya a kamkhuengnae koe BAWIPA nang na pholen.
