Psalms 26

1 A psalm of David. Defend me, O Lord, for my walk has been blameless; in the Lord have I trusted unswervingly:

Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Onnejjeereze, Ayi Mukama, kubanga obulamu bwange tebuliiko kya kunenyezebwa; nneesiga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, nga sibuusabuusa.

2 Examine me, Lord, and test me; test my heart and my mind.

Neetegereza, Ayi Mukama, ongezese; weekalirize ebiri mu mutima gwange ne mu mmeeme yange.

3 For your love is before my eyes, and your faithfulness governs my way.

Kubanga okwagala kwo kwe kunkulembera, era mu mazima go mwe ntambulira.

4 I never sat down with the worthless, nor companied with dissemblers.

Situula na bantu balimba, so siteesaganya na bakuusa.

5 I hate the assembly of knaves, I would never sit down with the wicked;

Nkyawa ekibiina ky’aboonoonyi; so situula na bakozi ba bibi.

6 but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,

Naaba mu ngalo zange okulaga nga bwe sirina misango; ne ndyoka nzija ku Kyoto kyo, Ayi Mukama;

7 singing loud songs of thanks, and telling of all your wonders.

ne nnyimba oluyimba olw’okwebaza, olwogera ku bikolwa byo ebyewuunyisa.

8 O Lord, I love your house, the place where your glory lives.

Ennyumba yo mw’obeera njagala, Ayi Mukama, kye kifo ekijjudde ekitiibwa kyo.

9 Do not gather me up with sinners; slay me not with people of blood,

Tombalira mu boonoonyi, wadde mu batemu,

10 whose hands are stained with villainy, and whose right hand is filled with bribes.

abakozesa emikono gyabwe okutegeka ebikolwa ebibi, era abali b’enguzi.

11 But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me.

Naye nze ntambula nga siriiko kye nnenyezebwa; nkwatirwa ekisa, Ayi Mukama, ondokole.

12 My foot stands on even ground, in the choirs I will bless the Lord.

Nnyimiridde watereevu. Nnaatenderezanga Mukama mu kibiina ky’abantu ekinene.
