Psalms 26

1 Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].

١ لِدَاوُدَ رَبُّ أَظْهِرْ بَرَاءَتِي لأَنِّي قَدْ سَلَكْتُ بِكَمَالِي، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ

2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].

٢ افْحَصْنِي أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ وَاخْتَبِرْنِي. امْتَحِنْ دَخَائِلِي وَقَلْبِي،

3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.

٣ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَدْ سَلَكْتُ فِي حَقِّكَ.

4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.

٤ لَمْ أُجَالِسْ أَهْلَ الْبَاطِلِ وَمَعَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا أَشْتَرِكُ.

5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.

٥ بَلْ أَبْغَضْتُ مَعْشَرَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، وَلَمْ أَجْلِسْ مَعَ الأَشْرَارِ.

6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,

٦ أَغْسِلُ يَدَيَّ عُرْبُونَ بَرَاءَتِي وَأَنْضَمُّ إِلَى الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ حَوْلَ مَذْبَحِكَ يَا رَبُّ.

7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].

٧ مُتَرَنِّماً بِصَوْتِ الْحَمْدِ وَأُحَدِّثُ بِأَعْمَالِكَ الْعَجِيبَةِ كُلِّهَا.

8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.

٨ رَبُّ، قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ الإِقَامَةَ فِي بَيْتِكَ، حَيْثُ يَحِلُّ مَجْدُكَ.

9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,

٩ فَلَا تَجْمَعْ نَفْسِي مَعَ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلَا حَيَاتِي مَعَ سَافِكِي الدَّمِ،

10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.

١٠ الَّذِينَ أَيْدِيهِمْ مُلَوَّثَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ، وَيَمِينُهُمْ مَلأَى بِالرِّشْوَةِ.

11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.

١١ أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكَمَالِي أَسْلُكُ، فَافْدِنِي وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ.

12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.

١٢ قَدَمَايَ مُنْتَصِبَتَانِ عَلَى طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ جَهْراً فِي مَحَافِلِ الْعِبَادَةِ.
