Psalmi 26

1 Pesem Davidova. Za sodnika mi bodi, Gospod, ker jaz hodim v poštenosti svoji, in v Gospoda zaupam, da ne omahnem.

“A psalm of David.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

2 Izkušaj me Gospod, in preišči me; preglej obisti moje in srce moje;

Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!

3 Ker milost tvoja je pred mojimi očmi, in neprestano hodim v resnici tvoji.

For thy kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.

4 Ne sedevam z ničemurnimi ljudmi in z licemérci se ne shajam.

I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.

5 Hudobnikov zbor sovražim, in s krivičnimi ne sedevam.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not sit with the wicked.

6 V nedolžnosti umivam roke svoje, in oltar tvoj obhajam, Gospod,

I wash my hands in innocence. And go around thine altar. O LORD!

7 Prepevajoč hvalno pesem, in oznanjajoč vsa čuda tvoja.

To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Gospod, prebivališče ljubim hiše tvoje, in mesto, šator slave.

O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!

9 Ne pridrúži grešnikom duše moje, in možem krvoželjnim mojega življenja.

Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,

10 V njih rokah je pregreha, desnica njih je polna daril podkupnih.

In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!

11 Jaz pa hodim v poštenosti svoji; reši me in milost mi stóri.

But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!

12 Noga moja stoji na ravnem, v zborih bodem blagoslavljal Gospoda.

My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
