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, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

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

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

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

For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4 non sedi cum concilio vanitatis et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6 lavabo inter innocentes manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum Domine

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7 ut audiam vocem laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8 Domine dilexi decorem domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

11 ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum redime me et miserere mei

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

12 pes meus stetit in directo in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
