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.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 E huli oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoike ia'u; E hoao mai oe i kuu puupaa a me kuu naau.

Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins 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 Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.

4 Aole au i noho pu me ka poe hookano; Aole hoi e komo pu me ka poe hookamani wale.

I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 Ua hoowahawaha au i ke anaina o ka poe hana ino; Aole hoi e noho pu au me ka poe hewa.

I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

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 wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine 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 make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

8 E Iehova, ua makemake au i ka noho ana o kou hale, A me ka wahi e noho ai kou nani.

LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

9 Mai houluulu oe i ko'u uhane me ka poe hewa; Aole hoi i kuu ola me na kanaka koko:

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with 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 is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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 walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12 Ke ku nei kuu wawae ma kahi maniania; Maloko o na anaina e hoomaikai aku ai au ia Iehova.

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