< Psalmorum 26 >
1 In finem. Psalmus David. Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.
Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in Jehovah without wavering.
2 Proba me, Domine, et tenta me; ure renes meos et cor meum.
Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est, et complacui in veritate tua.
For thy loving kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
4 Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis, et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.
I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor will I go in with dissemblers.
5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6 Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas, et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine:
I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
7 ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.
Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwells.
9 Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus, animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,
10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.
in whose hands is wickedness, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum; redime me, et miserere mei.
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.
