Mapisarema 26

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

[By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.

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

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

4 Handigari navanhu vanonyengera, kana kufambidzana navanyengeri;

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 ndinovenga ungano yavaiti vezvakaipa, uye ndinoramba kugara navakaipa.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD;

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

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

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

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

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

in whose hands is wickedness, 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 my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
