Psalmorum 26

1 In finem. Psalmus David. [Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.

Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

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

Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

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

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

4 Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis, et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

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

I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

7 ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

8 Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.

O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

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

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

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

But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.]

My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
