Halelu 26
1 E HOOPONO mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua hele au me ko'u pono: Ua hilinai au ia Iehova, aole au e pahee.
Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.
2 E huli oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoike ia'u; E hoao mai oe i kuu puupaa a me kuu naau.
Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
3 No ka mea, imua o ko'u mau maka kou lokomaikai; A ma kau olelo oiaio i hele ai au.
For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
4 Aole au i noho pu me ka poe hookano; Aole hoi e komo pu me ka poe hookamani wale.
I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
5 Ua hoowahawaha au i ke anaina o ka poe hana ino; Aole hoi e noho pu au me ka poe hewa.
I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
6 E holoi au i kuu mau lima me ka hala ole; Pela hoi au e hoopuni ai i kou kuahu, e Iehova;
I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
7 E hoike aku au me ka leo hoomaikai, A e hai aku hoi i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
8 E Iehova, ua makemake au i ka noho ana o kou hale, A me ka wahi e noho ai kou nani.
Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
9 Mai houluulu oe i ko'u uhane me ka poe hewa; Aole hoi i kuu ola me na kanaka koko:
Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
10 Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.
In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
11 A owau nei la, e hele au me kuu pono; E hoola mai oe ia'u, a e aloha mai ia'u.
But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
12 Ke ku nei kuu wawae ma kahi maniania; Maloko o na anaina e hoomaikai aku ai au ia Iehova.
I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
