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].
psalmus David iudica 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 tempta 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 conplacui 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 tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae
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 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
