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].
In finem. Psalmus David. Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.
2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
Proba me, Domine, et tenta me; ure renes meos et cor meum.
3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est, et complacui in veritate tua.
4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis, et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.
5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.
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,
Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas, et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine:
7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.
8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.
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,
Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus, animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:
10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.
11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum; redime me, et miserere mei.
12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.
