תְהִלִּים 26
| לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי בְּתֻמִּ֣י הָלַ֑כְתִּי וּבַיהוָ֥ה בָּ֝טַ֗חְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶמְעָֽד׃ | 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].
| בְּחָנֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה וְנַסֵּ֑נִי צְרֹופָה (צָרְפָ֖ה) כִלְיֹותַ֣י וְלִבִּֽי׃ | 2 |
Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
| כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָ֑י וְ֝הִתְהַלַּ֗כְתִּי בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ | 3 |
I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
| לֹא־יָ֭שַׁבְתִּי עִם־מְתֵי־שָׁ֑וְא וְעִ֥ם נַ֝עֲלָמִ֗ים לֹ֣א אָבֹֽוא׃ | 4 |
I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
| שָׂ֭נֵאתִי קְהַ֣ל מְרֵעִ֑ים וְעִם־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א אֵשֵֽׁב׃ | 5 |
I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
| אֶרְחַ֣ץ בְּנִקָּיֹ֣ון כַּפָּ֑י וַאֲסֹבְבָ֖ה אֶת־מִזְבַּחֲךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃ | 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,
| לַ֭שְׁמִעַ בְּקֹ֣ול תֹּודָ֑ה וּ֝לְסַפֵּ֗ר כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃ | 7 |
we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
| יְֽהוָ֗ה אָ֭הַבְתִּי מְעֹ֣ון בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מְקֹ֗ום מִשְׁכַּ֥ן כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃ | 8 |
Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
| אַל־תֶּאֱסֹ֣ף עִם־חַטָּאִ֣ים נַפְשִׁ֑י וְעִם־אַנְשֵׁ֖י דָמִ֣ים חַיָּֽי׃ | 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,
| אֲשֶׁר־בִּידֵיהֶ֥ם זִמָּ֑ה וִֽ֝ימִינָ֗ם מָ֣לְאָה שֹּֽׁחַד׃ | 10 |
and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
| וַ֭אֲנִי בְּתֻמִּ֥י אֵלֵ֗ךְ פְּדֵ֣נִי וְחָנֵּֽנִי׃ | 11 |
But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
| רַ֭גְלִי עָֽמְדָ֣ה בְמִישֹׁ֑ור בְּ֝מַקְהֵלִ֗ים אֲבָרֵ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה׃ | 12 |
I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
