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.

In finem. Psalmus David. [Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

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

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

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

ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

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

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

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

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

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

in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

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

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

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

Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.]
