Psalmorum 26

1 Psalmus David. Iudica 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 tuae, 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 tuae, et locum habitationis gloriae tuae.

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.
