Psalmorum 26

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

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also 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 lovingkindness is before mine 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; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass 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 dwelleth.

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 mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
