Psalmorum 26

1 psalmus David iudica me Domine quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum et in Domino sperans non infirmabor

Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum

Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

3 quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est et conplacui in veritate tua

For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

4 non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo

I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

5 odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6 lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine

I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

7 ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

9 ne perdas cum impiis animam meam et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum redime me et miserere mei

But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine

My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
