Salamo 26

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

“A psalm of David.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

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

Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!

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

For thy kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.

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

I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.

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

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not 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. And go around thine altar. O LORD!

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

To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!

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

Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,

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

In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!

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

But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, 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 tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
