Faarfannaa 26

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, sababii ani jireenya hirʼina hin qabne jiraadheef, ati naa murteessi; anis utuu asii fi achi hin raafamin, Waaqayyoon amanadheera.

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

2 Yaa Waaqayyo, qoriitii na ilaali; garaa koo fi qalbii koo qori;

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

3 jaalalli kee kan hin geeddaramne sun ija koo dura jiraatii; anis dhugaa keetiin nan deddeebiʼa.

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

4 Ani warra nama gowwoomsan wajjin hin taaʼu, yookaan fakkeessitoota wajjin tokkummaa hin qabaadhu;

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

5 ani waldaa warra hammina hojjetanii nan jibba; hamoota wajjinis hin taaʼu.

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

6 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani harka koo qulqullummaadhaan nan dhiqadha; iddoo aarsaa keetii irras nan naannaʼa.

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

7 Faarfannaa galataa guddisee nan faarfadha; dinqii hojii keetii hunda nan odeessa.

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

8 Yaa Waaqayyo, mana ati keessa jiraattu, iddoo ulfinni kee jirus nan jaalladha.

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

9 Lubbuu koo cubbamoota wajjin, jireenya koos warra dhiiga dhangalaasan wajjin hin balleessin;

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

10 warra harka isaanii keessa karoorri jalʼinaa jiru kanneen harki isaanii mirgaa mattaʼaadhaan guutame wajjin na hin balleessin.

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

11 Ani garuu jireenya hirʼina hin qabne nan jiraadha; ati na furi; araaras naa buusi.

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

12 Miilli koo lafa wal qixxee irra dhaabata; waldaa guddaa keessattis Waaqayyoon nan jajadha.

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