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, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

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

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

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

For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

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

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

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

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

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

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

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

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

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

In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

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

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

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

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
