Psalmi 26

1 Davidov. Dosudi mi pravo, Jahve, jer hodih u nedužnosti, i uzdajuć' se u Jahvu ja se ne pokolebah.

Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

2 Ispitaj me, Jahve, iskušaj me, istraži mi bubrege i srce.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

3 Jer tvoja je dobrota pred očima mojim, u istini tvojoj ja hodim.

For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

4 S ljudima opakim ja ne sjedim i ne svraćam podlima.

I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

5 Mrsko mi je društvo zlotvora, i s bezbošcima sjesti ne želim.

I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

6 U nedužnosti ruke svoje perem i obilazim žrtvenik tvoj, Jahve,

I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

7 da tvoju hvalu javno razglasim i pripovijedam sva divna djela tvoja.

That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

8 O Jahve, ljubim dom u kojem prebivaš i mjesto gdje slava tvoja stoluje.

Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

9 Ne pogubi mi dušu s grešnicima ni život moj s krvolocima;

Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;

10 na rukama je njihovim zločin, a desnica im puna mita.

In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.

11 A ja u nedužnosti svojoj hodim: izbavi me, milostiv mi budi.

But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

12 Noga mi stoji na pravu putu: u zborovima blagoslivljat ću Jahvu.

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
