Salamo 26

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 Diniho aho, Jehovah ô, ka fantaro; izahao toetra ny voako sy ny foko.

Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

3 Fa ny famindram-ponao no eo anoloan’ ny masoko; ary mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho.

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

4 Tsy mba miara-mipetraka amin’ ny olon-dratsy aho, na manan-draharaha amin’ ny olom-petsy.

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

5 Halako ny fiangonan’ ny mpanao ratsy; ary tsy miara-mipetraka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy aho.

I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6 Manasa ny tanako noho ny fahamarinako aho, ka te-hitoetra eo akaikin’ ny alitaranao, Jehovah ô,

I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

7 Mba hanao feo fiderana, ka hilaza ny asanao mahagaga rehetra.

to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

8 Jehovah ô, tiako ny trano itoeranao, dia ny fonenan’ ny voninahitrao.

O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

9 Aza mitondra ny fanahiko hiara-maty amin’ ny mpanota, na ny aiko amin’ ny mpandatsa-drà,

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 Izay misy fitaka eny an-tànany, ary feno kolikoly ny tànany ankavanana.

in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 Fa izaho kosa dia mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinako; avoty sy amindrao fo aho.

But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 Ny tongotro mijoro eo amin’ ny tany marina; eo am-piangonana no isaorako an’ i Jehovah.

My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
