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.

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

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 Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] 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 mine eyes, And I have walked habitually 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 men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

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 assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

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 in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

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

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

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

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And 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 hand [is] a wicked device, 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.

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

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

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
