Banzembo 26
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.
2 Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.
For thy loving-kindness [is] before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,
I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:
7 mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor dwelleth.
9 Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.
In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
