Zabbuli 26

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Onnejjeereze, Ayi Mukama, kubanga obulamu bwange tebuliiko kya kunenyezebwa; nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, nga sibuusabuusa.

A psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.

2 Neetegereza, Ayi Mukama, ongezese; weekalirize ebiri mu mutima gwange ne mu mmeeme yange.

Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!

3 Kubanga okwagala kwo kwe kunkulembera, era mu mazima go mwe ntambulira.

For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

4 Situula na bantu balimba, so siteesaganya na bakuusa.

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

5 Nkyawa ekibiina ky’aboonoonyi; so situula na bakozi ba bibi.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.

6 Naaba mu ngalo zange okulaga nga bwe sirina misango; ne ndyoka nzija ku Kyoto kyo, Ayi Mukama;

I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,

7 ne nnyimba oluyimba olw’okwebaza, olwogera ku bikolwa byo ebyewuunyisa.

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

8 Ennyumba yo mw’obeera njagala, Ayi Mukama, kye kifo ekijjudde ekitiibwa kyo.

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

9 Tombalira mu boonoonyi, wadde mu batemu,

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

10 abakozesa emikono gyabwe okutegeka ebikolwa ebibi, era abali b’enguzi.

in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

11 Naye nze ntambula nga siriiko kye nnenyezebwa; nkwatirwa ekisa, Ayi Mukama, ondokole.

But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.

12 Nnyimiridde watereevu. Nnaatenderezanga Mukama mu kibiina ky’abantu ekinene.

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