Psalms 26

1 IEOWA kom kotin jauaja ia, pwe I kekeit wei ni melel, I kin liki Ieowa, i jota pan luetala

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

2 Main kom kotin kajaui ia da o kajonejon ia, o kamakelekele mudilik I kan o monion i.

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

3 Pwe I aja duen omui kalanan, o I kin weweid ni omui melel.

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

4 I jota kin mondi ren aramaj aklapalap akan, o I jota kin waroki on me morjued akan.

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

5 I kin tataki pokon en mejued akan, o i jota kin mondi ren me japun kan.

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

6 I omiomi ki makelekel o i kin pok on japwilim omui pei jaraui, Main, Ieowa.

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

7 Waja I pan kapikapina, nil laudeta o padak duen omui manaman akan karoj.

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

8 Main Ieowa, I kin pok on wajan tanpaj omui, o wajan ar linan.

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

9 Kom der kotin kajapoke ia la ianaki me dipan akan, de maur I ianaki me kamela aramaj akan.

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

10 Pwe pa arail me dir en morjued o re ki men ale kijakij.

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

11 A nai kin weweid ni makelekel. Dore ia la o kotin maki on ia!

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

12 Na I kin aluwei pun. I pan kapina Ieowa nan momodijo kan.

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