Psalmorum 26

1 Psalmus David. Iudica 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, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

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

Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

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

For thy loving-kindness 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 vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

7 Ut audiam vocem laudis tuae, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae, et locum habitationis gloriae tuae.

Jehovah, I have loved 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 are evil devices, 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 gracious 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.
