Psalmorum 26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 go about your altar, LORD,

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 your wondrous deeds.

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

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

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

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

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

in whose hands is wickedness; 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 the LORD.
