Halelu 26
1 E HOOPONO mai oe ia'u, e Iehova, no ka mea, ua hele au me ko'u pono: Ua hilinai au ia Iehova, aole au e pahee.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
2 E huli oe ia'u, e Iehova, a e hoike ia'u; E hoao mai oe i kuu puupaa a me kuu naau.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3 No ka mea, imua o ko'u mau maka kou lokomaikai; A ma kau olelo oiaio i hele ai au.
For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.
4 Aole au i noho pu me ka poe hookano; Aole hoi e komo pu me ka poe hookamani wale.
I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5 Ua hoowahawaha au i ke anaina o ka poe hana ino; Aole hoi e noho pu au me ka poe hewa.
I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].
6 E holoi au i kuu mau lima me ka hala ole; Pela hoi au e hoopuni ai i kou kuahu, e Iehova;
I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:
7 E hoike aku au me ka leo hoomaikai, A e hai aku hoi i kau mau hana kupaianaha a pau.
to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.
8 E Iehova, ua makemake au i ka noho ana o kou hale, A me ka wahi e noho ai kou nani.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.
9 Mai houluulu oe i ko'u uhane me ka poe hewa; Aole hoi i kuu ola me na kanaka koko:
Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
10 Maloko o ko lakou mau lima ke kolohe; A ua piha i na kipe ko lakou mau lima akau.
in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.
11 A owau nei la, e hele au me kuu pono; E hoola mai oe ia'u, a e aloha mai ia'u.
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
12 Ke ku nei kuu wawae ma kahi maniania; Maloko o na anaina e hoomaikai aku ai au ia Iehova.
My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
