Zaburi 26

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

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

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

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

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

For thy loving-kindness [is] before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

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

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

5 Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

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

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

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

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

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

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

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor dwelleth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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