Mapisarema 26

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

Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].

Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].

I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.

I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.

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

Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,

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

we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].

Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.

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

Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,

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

and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.

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

But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.

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

I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
