Psalmorum 26
1 psalmus David iudica me Domine quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum et in Domino sperans non infirmabor
Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
2 proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum
Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
3 quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est et conplacui in veritate tua
I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
4 non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo
I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
5 odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo
I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
6 lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine
Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
7 ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua
we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae
Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
9 ne perdas cum impiis animam meam et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam
Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus
and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
11 ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum redime me et miserere mei
But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
12 pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine
I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
