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.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
Ntembezelo we nthu wakatambunuka
1 Yahwe, lakidzani kuti andina nlandu
ngoti ndakatjila butjilo gusina nlandu.
Kakale ndakagalabgwe
muna Yahwe ndisingazunguzike.
2 Yahwe, mundishole kakale mundilike,
likani moyo wangu ne njalakang'wa dzangu.
3 Ludo gwenyu gusingazunguzike,
gumu mesho angu,
kakale ndogalikabgwe kumuli.
4 Anditogala ntutshi ne bathu basibe tjimwe,
kene kuyendidzana ne batjengedzi.
5 Ndobenga goko le bashingi be bubi,
ndizo andingagale ne babi.
6 Ndongula maboko angu kulakidza kusabe ne nlandu,
ndibe ndipoteleka tjibeso tjenyu Yahwe tjinopisigwa zwibhayilo,
7 ndimbila pezhugwi lumbo gwe kuboka,
ndileba mishingo yenyu yose inotjenamisa.
8 Yahwe, ndoda ng'umba yamunogala muili,
ne panogala tjedza tjenyu.
9 Musinditshwayilile kuzhe ne batjinyi,
kene butjilo gwangu ne bana nyota ye kubulaya,
10 bathu be maboko azhele bubi,
maboko abo e luji azhele tjizwimba nlomo.
11 Koga nge kwangu, ndakatambunuka,
mundidzutunule, mube ne ngoni nami.
12 Makumbo angu amile pakalulwama,
mu gubungano gulu, ndowokudza Yahwe.
