Psalms 26

1 Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

psalmus David iudica me Domine quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum et in Domino sperans non infirmabor

2 Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum

3 For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est et conplacui in veritate tua

4 I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo

5 I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

6 I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine

7 to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

ne perdas cum impiis animam meam et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

11 But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum redime me et miserere mei

12 My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine
