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 tempta 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 conplacui 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 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 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.
