Psalms 26

1 By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

Psalmus David. Iudica me Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum: et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.

2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

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

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

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

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

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

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

Ut audiam vocem laudis tuae, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae, et locum habitationis gloriae tuae.

9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

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

10 in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

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

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.

Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine.
