Psalmi 26

1 Sodi me, oh Gospod, kajti hodil sem v svoji neokrnjenosti. Zaupal sem tudi v Gospoda, zato ne bom zdrsnil.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

2 Preišči me, oh Gospod in preizkusi me; preizkusi mojo notranjost in moje srce.

Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

3 Kajti tvoja ljubeča skrbnost je pred mojimi očmi in hodil sem v tvoji resnici.

For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.

4 Nisem se usedal z domišljavimi osebami niti ne bom vstopal s hinavci.

I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

5 Sovražil sem skupnost hudodelcev in z zlobnimi ne bom sedel.

I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

6 V nedolžnosti si bom umival roke; tako bom hodil okoli tvojega oltarja, oh Gospod,

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

7 da bom lahko razglašal z glasom zahvaljevanja in pripovedoval o vseh tvojih čudovitih delih.

to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.

8 Gospod, ljubil sem prebivališče tvoje hiše in kraj, kjer prebiva tvoja čast.

O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.

9 Ne zbiraj moje duše z grešniki niti mojega življenja s krvoločnimi ljudmi.

Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

10 V čigar rokah je vragolija, njihova desnica pa je polna podkupnin.

in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

11 Toda kar se mene tiče, jaz bom hodil v svoji neokrnjenosti. Odkupi me in bodi mi usmiljen.

But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

12 Moje stopalo stoji na ravnem kraju. V skupnostih bom blagoslavljal Gospoda.

My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
