Psalmorum 26

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

“Of David.” Judge me, O Lord; for I have indeed walked in my integrity: and in the Lord have I trusted; I shall not slip.

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

Try me, O Lord, and prove me; purify my reins and my heart.

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

For thy 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, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].

5 odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

I have hated the assemblage of evil-doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.

6 lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine

I will wash in innocency my hands, and I will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7 ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

That I may publish with a loud voice [my] thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.

8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

Lord, I love the site of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;

10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

In whose hands are wicked devices, and whose 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 gracious unto me.

12 pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine

My foot standeth on an even place: in assemblies will I bless the Lord.
