Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

In finem, Psalmus David. Iudica me Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum: et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

Proba me Domine, et tenta me: ure renes meos et cor meum.

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine 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 vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis: et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas: et circumdabo altare tuum Domine:

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

Ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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 are evil devices, 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 mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum: redime me, et miserere mei.

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine.
