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, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

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

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

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

For thy loving-kindness [is] before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

4 Situula na bantu balimba, so siteesaganya na bakuusa.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

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

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

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

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor dwelleth.

9 Tombalira mu boonoonyi, wadde mu batemu,

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

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

In whose hands [is] mischief, and their 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 my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
