Salamo 26

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

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

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

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

For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.

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

I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

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

I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

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

I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:

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

to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.

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

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

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

Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

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

in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

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

But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

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

My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
