Salme 26
1 Af David. Herre! skaf mig Ret, thi jeg har vandret i min Uskyldighed; og jeg forlader mig paa Herren, jeg skal ikke snuble.
Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
2 Prøv mig, Herre! og forsøg mig, lutre mine Nyrer og mit Hjerte;
Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
3 thi din Miskundhed er for mine Øjne, og jeg vandrer i din Sandhed.
I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
4 Jeg sidder ikke hos falske Folk og kommer ikke hos underfundige.
I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
5 Jeg hader de ondes Forsamling og sidder ikke hos de ugudelige.
I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
6 Jeg tor mine Hænder i Uskyldighed og holder mig omkring dit Alter, Herre!
Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
7 for at lade mig høre med Taksigelses Røst og for at fortælle alle dine underfulde Gerninger.
we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
8 Herre! jeg elsker dit Hus's Bolig og din Æres Tabernakels Sted.
Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
9 Bortryk ikke min Sjæl med Syndere, eller mit Liv med blodgerrige Folk,
Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
10 i hvis Hænder der er Skændsel, og hvis højre Haand er fuld af Skænk.
and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
11 Men jeg vil vandre i min Uskyldighed; forløs mig og vær mig naadig!
But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
12 Min Fod staar paa det jævne; i Forsamlinger vil jeg love Herren.
I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
