Psalm 26

1 [Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD, akkalemye lah wangin mwetik, Mweyen nga oru ma suwohs Ac nga lulalfongi kom ke insiuk nufon.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.

2 Tuniyu ac srikeyu, LEUM GOD; Liye insiuk ac nunak luk.

Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.

3 Tuh lungse kawil lom atolyu; Ac oaru lom kolyu pacl e nukewa.

For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.

4 Nga tia asruoki yurin mwet lusrongten; Wangin ip luk yurin mwet wosounkas.

I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.

5 Nga tia lungse asruoki nu sin mwet koluk, Ac nga fahsr liki mwet sulallal.

I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.

6 LEUM GOD, nga ohlla pouk in akkalemye lah nga nasnas na, Ac nga fahsr rauni loang lom.

I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,

7 Nga yuk soko on in sang kulo, Ac nga fahkak ke orekma wowo lom nukewa.

so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.

8 LEUM GOD, nga lungsik lohm su kom muta we, Acn su wolana lom oan we.

O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.

9 Nikmet uniyuwi yurin mwet koluk; Moliyula liki ouiyen misa lun mwet akmas,

O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,

10 Mwet su orekma koluk in pacl e nukewa Ac akola in eis mwe moul kutasrik.

in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.

11 A funu nga, nga oru ma suwoswos. Pakomutuk ac moliyula!

But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12 Nga muta in misla liki mwe ongoiya nukewa; Nga fah kaksakin LEUM GOD ke nga muta inmasrlon mwet lal.

My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
