Mapisarema 26

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

Judge me, O YHWH; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in YHWH; therefore I shall not slide.

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

Examine me, O YHWH, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

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

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

4 Handigari navanhu vanonyengera, kana kufambidzana navanyengeri;

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 ndinovenga ungano yavaiti vezvakaipa, uye ndinoramba kugara navakaipa.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O YHWH:

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

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

YHWH, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

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

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

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

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless YHWH.
