Psalms 26

1 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.

Sodi me, oh Gospod, kajti hodil sem v svoji neokrnjenosti. Zaupal sem tudi v Gospoda, zato ne bom zdrsnil.

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

Preišči me, oh Gospod in preizkusi me; preizkusi mojo notranjost in moje srce.

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

Kajti tvoja ljubeča skrbnost je pred mojimi očmi in hodil sem v tvoji resnici.

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

Nisem se usedal z domišljavimi osebami niti ne bom vstopal s hinavci.

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

Sovražil sem skupnost hudodelcev in z zlobnimi ne bom sedel.

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

V nedolžnosti si bom umival roke; tako bom hodil okoli tvojega oltarja, oh Gospod,

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

da bom lahko razglašal z glasom zahvaljevanja in pripovedoval o vseh tvojih čudovitih delih.

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

Gospod, ljubil sem prebivališče tvoje hiše in kraj, kjer prebiva tvoja čast.

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

Ne zbiraj moje duše z grešniki niti mojega življenja s krvoločnimi ljudmi.

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

V čigar rokah je vragolija, njihova desnica pa je polna podkupnin.

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

Toda kar se mene tiče, jaz bom hodil v svoji neokrnjenosti. Odkupi me in bodi mi usmiljen.

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

Moje stopalo stoji na ravnem kraju. V skupnostih bom blagoslavljal Gospoda.
