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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!

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

My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
