< Psalmorum 26 >
1 psalmus David iudica me Domine quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum et in Domino sperans non infirmabor
[By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.
2 proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum
Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est et conplacui in veritate tua
For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4 non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo
I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6 lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine
I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD;
7 ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae
LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9 ne perdas cum impiis animam meam et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam
Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus
in whose hands is wickedness, 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 my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
