Mapisarema 26

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Nditongerei, imi Jehovha, nokuti ndakararama upenyu husina chahungapomerwa; ndakavimba naJehovha ndisingazungunuki.

A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.

2 Ndiedzei, imi Jehovha, ndinzverei, nzverai mwoyo wangu nendangariro dzangu;

Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.

3 nokuti rudo rwenyu rwuri pamberi pangu nguva dzose, uye ndinogara ndichifamba muzvokwadi yenyu.

For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.

4 Handigari navanhu vanonyengera, kana kufambidzana navanyengeri;

I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.

5 ndinovenga ungano yavaiti vezvakaipa, uye ndinoramba kugara navakaipa.

I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.

6 Ndinoshamba maoko angu ndisina mhaka, uye ndinofamba-famba paaritari yenyu, imi Jehovha,

I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,

7 ndichiparidza rumbidzo yenyu nenzwi guru, uye ndichireva zvamabasa enyu ose anoshamisa.

That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.

8 Ndinoda imba yamunogara, imi Jehovha, nzvimbo inogara kubwinya kwenyu.

O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 Regai kubatanidza mweya wangu navatadzi, noupenyu hwangu navanoteura ropa,

Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:

10 vana maoko akabata zvakaipa, vazere nefufuro mumaoko avo orudyi.

In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 Asi ini ndinogara upenyu husina chahungapomerwa; ndidzikinurei uye mundinzwire ngoni.

But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

12 Tsoka dzangu dzimire pakati chechetere; ndicharumbidza Jehovha paungano huru.

My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
