A Psalm of David.
1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
Ee Bwana, unihukumu mimi, Maana nimekwenda kwa ukamilifu wangu, Nami nimemtumaini Bwana bila wasiwasi.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me;
Try my reins and my heart.
Ee Bwana, unijaribu na kunipima; Unisafishe mtima wangu na moyo wangu.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:
And I have walked in thy truth.
Maana fadhili zako zi mbele ya macho yangu, Nami nimekwenda katika kweli yako.
4 I have not sat with vain persons,
Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
Sikuketi pamoja na watu wa ubatili, Wala sitaingia mnamo wanafiki.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers;
And will not sit with the wicked.
Nimelichukia kusanyiko la watenda mabaya, Wala sitaketi pamoja na watu waovu.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
Nitanawa mikono yangu kwa kutokuwa na hatia, Na kuizunguka madhabahu yako, Ee Bwana
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.
Ili niitangaze sauti ya kushukuru, Na kuzisimulia kazi zako za ajabu.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house,
And the place where thine honour dwelleth.
Bwana, nimependa makao ya nyumba yako, Na mahali pa maskani ya utukufu wako.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with bloody men:
Usiiondoe nafsi yangu pamoja na wakosaji, Wala uhai wangu pamoja na watu wa damu.
10 In whose hands is mischief,
And their right hand is full of bribes.
Mikononi mwao mna madhara, Na mkono wao wa kuume umejaa rushwa.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
Ila mimi nitakwenda kwa ukamilifu wangu; Unikomboe, unifanyie fadhili.
12 My foot standeth in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless the LORD.
Mguu wangu umesimama palipo sawa; Katika makusanyiko nitamhimidi Bwana.
