Psalms 26

1 Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

Nataon’ i Davida.

2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

Diniho aho, Jehovah ô, ka fantaro; izahao toetra ny voako sy ny foko.

3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

Fa ny famindram-ponao no eo anoloan’ ny masoko; ary mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinanao aho.

4 I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

Tsy mba miara-mipetraka amin’ ny olon-dratsy aho, na manan-draharaha amin’ ny olom-petsy.

5 I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

Halako ny fiangonan’ ny mpanao ratsy; ary tsy miara-mipetraka amin’ ny ratsy fanahy aho.

6 I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

Manasa ny tanako noho ny fahamarinako aho, ka te-hitoetra eo akaikin’ ny alitaranao, Jehovah ô,

7 That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

Mba hanao feo fiderana, ka hilaza ny asanao mahagaga rehetra.

8 Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

Jehovah ô, tiako ny trano itoeranao, dia ny fonenan’ ny voninahitrao.

9 Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;

Aza mitondra ny fanahiko hiara-maty amin’ ny mpanota, na ny aiko amin’ ny mpandatsa-drà,

10 In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.

Izay misy fitaka eny an-tànany, ary feno kolikoly ny tànany ankavanana.

11 But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

Fa izaho kosa dia mandeha amin’ ny fahamarinako; avoty sy amindrao fo aho.

12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

Ny tongotro mijoro eo amin’ ny tany marina; eo am-piangonana no isaorako an’ i Jehovah.
