Psalms 26

1 A psalm of David. Defend me, O Lord, for my walk has been blameless; in the Lord have I trusted unswervingly:

Davidov. Dosudi mi pravo, Jahve, jer hodih u nedužnosti, i uzdajuć' se u Jahvu ja se ne pokolebah.

2 Examine me, Lord, and test me; test my heart and my mind.

Ispitaj me, Jahve, iskušaj me, istraži mi bubrege i srce.

3 For your love is before my eyes, and your faithfulness governs my way.

Jer tvoja je dobrota pred očima mojim, u istini tvojoj ja hodim.

4 I never sat down with the worthless, nor companied with dissemblers.

S ljudima opakim ja ne sjedim i ne svraćam podlima.

5 I hate the assembly of knaves, I would never sit down with the wicked;

Mrsko mi je društvo zlotvora, i s bezbošcima sjesti ne želim.

6 but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,

U nedužnosti ruke svoje perem i obilazim žrtvenik tvoj, Jahve,

7 singing loud songs of thanks, and telling of all your wonders.

da tvoju hvalu javno razglasim i pripovijedam sva divna djela tvoja.

8 O Lord, I love your house, the place where your glory lives.

O Jahve, ljubim dom u kojem prebivaš i mjesto gdje slava tvoja stoluje.

9 Do not gather me up with sinners; slay me not with people of blood,

Ne pogubi mi dušu s grešnicima ni život moj s krvolocima;

10 whose hands are stained with villainy, and whose right hand is filled with bribes.

na rukama je njihovim zločin, a desnica im puna mita.

11 But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me.

A ja u nedužnosti svojoj hodim: izbavi me, milostiv mi budi.

12 My foot stands on even ground, in the choirs I will bless the Lord.

Noga mi stoji na pravu putu: u zborovima blagoslivljat ću Jahvu.
