Mapisarema 26
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Nditongerei, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndakararama upenyu husina chahungapomerwa; ndakavimba naJehovha ndisingazungunuki.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.
2 Ndiedzei, imi Jehovha, ndinzverei, nzverai mwoyo wangu nendangariro dzangu;
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.
3 nokuti rudo rwenyu rwuri pamberi pangu nguva dzose, uye ndinogara ndichifamba muzvokwadi yenyu.
For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
4 Handigari navanhu vanonyengera, kana kufambidzana navanyengeri;
I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
5 ndinovenga ungano yavaiti vezvakaipa, uye ndinoramba kugara navakaipa.
I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.
6 Ndinoshamba maoko angu ndisina mhaka, uye ndinofamba-famba paaritari yenyu, imi Jehovha,
I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
7 ndichiparidza rumbidzo yenyu nenzwi guru, uye ndichireva zvamabasa enyu ose anoshamisa.
That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Ndinoda imba yamunogara, imi Jehovha, nzvimbo inogara kubwinya kwenyu.
I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9 Regai kubatanidza mweya wangu navatadzi, noupenyu hwangu navanoteura ropa,
Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:
10 vana maoko akabata zvakaipa, vazere nefufuro mumaoko avo orudyi.
In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
11 Asi ini ndinogara upenyu husina chahungapomerwa; ndidzikinurei uye mundinzwire ngoni.
But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 Tsoka dzangu dzimire pakati chechetere; ndicharumbidza Jehovha paungano huru.
My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
