Zaburi 26

1 Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

A psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.

2 Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!

3 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

4 Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.

5 Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.

6 Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,

7 kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.

8 Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!

9 Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,

10 ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

11 Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.

12 Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!

My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!
