Psalms 26

1 David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.

τοῦ Δαυιδ κρῖνόν με κύριε ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐν ἀκακίᾳ μου ἐπορεύθην καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ κυρίῳ ἐλπίζων οὐ μὴ ἀσθενήσω

2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: —

δοκίμασόν με κύριε καὶ πείρασόν με πύρωσον τοὺς νεφρούς μου καὶ τὴν καρδίαν μου

3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

ὅτι τὸ ἔλεός σου κατέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μού ἐστιν καὶ εὐηρέστησα ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σου

4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;

οὐκ ἐκάθισα μετὰ συνεδρίου ματαιότητος καὶ μετὰ παρανομούντων οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθω

5 I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

ἐμίσησα ἐκκλησίαν πονηρευομένων καὶ μετὰ ἀσεβῶν οὐ μὴ καθίσω

6 I will bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;

νίψομαι ἐν ἀθῴοις τὰς χεῖράς μου καὶ κυκλώσω τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου κύριε

7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.

τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι φωνὴν αἰνέσεως καὶ διηγήσασθαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου

8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!

κύριε ἠγάπησα εὐπρέπειαν οἴκου σου καὶ τόπον σκηνώματος δόξης σου

9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

μὴ συναπολέσῃς μετὰ ἀσεβῶν τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρῶν αἱμάτων τὴν ζωήν μου

10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.

ὧν ἐν χερσὶν ἀνομίαι ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτῶν ἐπλήσθη δώρων

11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.

ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν ἀκακίᾳ μου ἐπορεύθην λύτρωσαί με καὶ ἐλέησόν με

12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.

ὁ γὰρ πούς μου ἔστη ἐν εὐθύτητι ἐν ἐκκλησίαις εὐλογήσω σε κύριε
