Psalms 26

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

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

2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

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

3 For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

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

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo

5 I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

6 I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine

7 That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

8 I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

9 Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

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

10 In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

11 But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

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

12 My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.

pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine
