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.

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

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

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

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

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

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

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

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

Sovražil sem skupnost hudodelcev in z zlobnimi ne bom sedel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

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

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

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

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

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