Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

In finem, 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; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

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

3 For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.

Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est: et complacui in veritate tua.

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

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

5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:

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

7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.

Ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.

Domine dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.

9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

Ne perdas cum impiis Deus animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:

10 in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

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

12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.

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