< Psalms 26 >
1 Ti Dafidi. Ṣe ìdájọ́ mi, Olúwa, nítorí tí mo ti ń rìn nínú ìwà òtítọ́ ọ̀ mi, mo sì ti ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú Olúwa, ǹjẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ mi kì yóò yẹ̀.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2 Wádìí mi wò, Ìwọ Olúwa, kí o sì dán mi wò, dán àyà àti ọkàn mi wò;
Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3 nítorí ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ tí ó dúró ṣinṣin ń bẹ níwájú mi, èmí sì ti rìn nínú òtítọ́ rẹ.
For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
4 Èmi kò jókòó pẹ̀lú aláìṣòótọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò bá àwọn àgàbàgebè wọlé.
I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5 Èmi ti kórìíra àwùjọ àwọn ènìyàn búburú èmi kì yóò sì bá àwọn ènìyàn ìkà jókòó.
I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
6 Èmí ó wẹ ọwọ́ mi ní àìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò sì yí pẹpẹ rẹ ká Olúwa.
I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7 Èmi yóò kọrin sókè àní orin ọpẹ́, èmi yóò sì máa sọ iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀.
so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
8 Háà Olúwa, èmí ń fẹ́ ilé rẹ níbi tí ìwọ ń gbé, àní níbi tí ògo rẹ̀ wà.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9 Má ṣe gbá mi dànù pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, tàbí ẹ̀mí mi pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin tí òǹgbẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ ń gbẹ,
O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 àwọn tí ọwọ́ wọn kún fún ìwà ibi, tí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún wọn kún fún àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.
in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó máa rìn nínú ìwà títọ́; rà mí padà, kí o sì ṣàánú fún mi.
But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 Ẹsẹ̀ mi dúró lórí ilẹ̀ tí ó tẹ́jú; nínú ìjọ ńlá èmi yóò fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa.
My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
