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, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh 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, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts 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 covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

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

I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.

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 assembly of evildoers, and I do not live 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 wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,

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

to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.

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

Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!

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

Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,

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

in whose hands there is a plot, 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 integrity; redeem me 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.

My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!
