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 LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

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

Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.

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

For Thy mercy 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 gathering 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 LORD,

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.

LORD, 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 craftiness, 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 the LORD.
