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.” Judge me, O Lord; for I have indeed walked in my integrity: and in the Lord have I trusted; I shall not slip.
2 E huli oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoike ia'u; E hoao mai oe i kuu puupaa a me kuu naau.
Try me, O Lord, and prove me; purify 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 kindness is before my 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, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].
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 assemblage of evil-doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.
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 in innocency my hands, and I will compass thy 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 publish with a loud voice [my] thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.
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 site 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:
Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;
10 Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.
In whose hands are wicked devices, and whose 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 my 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 on an even place: in assemblies will I bless the Lord.
