Psalms

26

1Nditongerei Jehovha, nekuti ndakafamba nokusanyengera kwangu; Ndakavimbawo naJehovha ndisinganyunyuti.
1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.
2Ndinzverei Jehovha, ndiidzei, Natsai itsvo dzangu nomoyo wangu.
2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3Nekuti unyoro bwenyu huri pamberi pameso angu, Ndakafamba muchokwadi chenyu.
3For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4Handina kugara navanhu venhema, Handingafambidzani navanyepedzeri.
4I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5Ndinovenga ungano yavanoita zvakaipa, Handingagari navatadzi.
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6Ndichashambidza maoko angu ndisina mhosva; Ndigopoteredza aritari yenyu saizvozvo, Jehovha.
6I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh;
7Kuti ndiparidze nenzwi rokuvonga, Ndiudze vanhu zvamabasa enyu ose anoshamisa.
7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8Jehovha, ndinoda hugaro bweimba yenyu, Nenzvimbo panogara kubwinya kwenyu.
8Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9Regai kusanganisa mweya wangu pamwechete navatadzi, Noupenyu hwangu navateuri veropa;
9Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10Vakabata zvakashata pamaoko avo, Ruoko rwavo rworudyi ruzere nefufuro.
10in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
11Asi kana ndirini ndichafamba nokusanyengera kwangu; Ndidzikunurei, mundinzwire tsitsi.
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12Rutsoka rwangu rumire pakati chechetere; Ndicharumbidza Jehovha paungano
12My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
