Swahili Bible2

26

A Psalm of David.

1Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity:

I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

2Examine me, O Lord, and prove me;

Try my reins and my heart.

3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

And I have walked in thy truth.

4I have not sat with vain persons,

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5I have hated the congregation of evildoers;

And will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash mine hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,

And tell of all thy wondrous works.

8Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house,

And the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9Gather not my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloody men:

10In whose hands is mischief,

And their right hand is full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12My foot standeth in an even place:

In the congregations will I bless the Lord.
