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.

A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.

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

Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

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

For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

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

I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

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

I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

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

I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

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

singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

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

Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

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

Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

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

whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

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

For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

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

I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
