Saame 26

1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova; he naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: naʻaku falala foki kia Sihova; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u hekea.

A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.

2 ‌ʻAhiʻahiʻi au, ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻiloʻi au; ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto.

Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.

3 He ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa pea naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni.

For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.

4 Naʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau tangata angakovi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki loto mo e kau mālualoi.

I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.

5 ‌ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he fakataha ʻoe kau fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau angahala.

I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.

6 Te u fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻe pehē pe ʻeku kāpui ho ʻesifeilaulau, ʻE Sihova:

I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,

7 Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea fakamatala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.

That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.

8 ‌ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻofa ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ho fale, mo e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hoʻo ʻafio.

O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakataha hoku laumālie mo e kau angahala, pe ko ʻeku moʻui mo e kau tangata pani toto:

Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:

10 ‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae pauʻu, pea ʻoku fonu honau nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakahē.

In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 Ka ko au, te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: ke ke huhuʻi au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au.

But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.

12 ‌ʻOku tuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu tokamālie: ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kakai te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.

My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
