< Psalms 26 >
1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in Jehovah without wavering.
In finem, Psalmus David. Iudica me Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum: et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.
2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
Proba me Domine, et tenta me: ure renes meos et cor meum.
3 For thy loving kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est: et complacui in veritate tua.
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers.
Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis: et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas: et circumdabo altare tuum Domine:
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.
8 Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwells.
Domine dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,
Ne perdas cum impiis Deus animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:
10 in whose hands is wickedness, and their right hand is full of bribes.
In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei.
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.
Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine.
