Salamo 26

1 Nataon’ i Davida.

A psalm of David. Defend me, O Lord, for my walk has been blameless; in the Lord have I trusted unswervingly:

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

Examine me, Lord, and test me; test my heart and my mind.

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

For your love is before my eyes, and your faithfulness governs my way.

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

I never sat down with the worthless, nor companied with dissemblers.

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

I hate the assembly of knaves, I would never sit down with the wicked;

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

but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,

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

singing loud songs of thanks, and telling of all your wonders.

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

O Lord, I love your house, the place where your glory lives.

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

Do not gather me up with sinners; slay me not with people of blood,

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

whose hands are stained with villainy, and whose right hand is filled with bribes.

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

But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me.

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

My foot stands on even ground, in the choirs I will bless the Lord.
