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.

Judge me, O YHWH; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in YHWH; therefore I shall not slide.

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 YHWH, and prove me; try 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 lovingkindness 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 vain persons, 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 have hated the congregation 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 mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O YHWH:

7 E hoike aku au me ka leo hoomaikai, A e hai aku hoi i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, 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.

YHWH, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour 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 bloody men:

10 Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.

In whose hands is mischief, 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 merciful 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 YHWH.
