Psalms 26

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and test me; try my reins and my heart.

Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

3 For thy lovingkindness is before my eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency: so will I go about thy altar, O LORD:

Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honour dwelleth.

Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
