Psalms 26

1 A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.

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

2 Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

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

3 For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

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

4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

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

5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

Sovražil sem skupnost hudodelcev in z zlobnimi ne bom sedel.

6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

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

7 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

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

8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

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

9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

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

10 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

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

11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

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

12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.

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