< Psalms 26 >
1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
In finem. Psalmus David. [Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.
Proba me, Domine, et tenta me; ure renes meos et cor meum.
3 For Thy mercy 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 men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.
Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis, et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.
5 I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.
Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas, et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine:
7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.
8 LORD, I love 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 is craftiness, 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 the LORD.
Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.]
