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 LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

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

Examine me, O LORD, and prove 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 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 vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; 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 will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

7 ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honor dwelleth.

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

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

In whose hands [is] mischief, 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 my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to 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 the LORD.
