Mapisarema 26

¹Nditongerei Jehovha, nokuti ndakafamba nokusanyengera kwangu; Ndakavimbawo naJehovha ndisinganyunyuti.Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

²Ndinzverei Jehovha, ndiidzei, Natsai itsvo dzangu nomoyo wangu.Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

³Nokuti unyoro hwenyu huri pamberi pameso angu, Ndakafamba muzvokwadi yenyu.For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

⁴Handina kugara navanhu venhema, Handingafambidzani navanyengeri.I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵Ndinovenga ungano yavanoita zvakaipa, Handingagari navatadzi.I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.

⁶Ndichashambidza maoko angu ndisina mhosva; Ndigopoteredza aritari yenyu saizvozvo, Jehovha.I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

⁷Kuti ndiparidze nenzwi rokuvonga, Ndiudze vanhu zvamabasa enyu ose anoshamisa.That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸Jehovha, ndinoda hugaro hweimba yenyu, Nenzvimbo panogara kubwinya kwenyu.LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

⁹Regai kusanganisa mweya wangu pamwechete navatadzi, Noupenyu hwangu navateuri veropa;Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

¹⁰Vakabata zvakashata pamaoko avo, Ruoko rwavo rworudyi ruzere nefufuro.In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹Asi kana ndirini ndichafamba nokusanyengera kwangu; Ndidzikunurei, mundinzwire tsitsi.But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²Rutsoka rwangu rumire pakati chechetere; Ndicharumbidza Jehovha paunganoMy foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
