Psalms 26

1 By David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

In finem. Psalmus David. Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.

2 Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

Proba me, Domine, et tenta me; ure renes meos et cor meum.

3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est, et complacui in veritate tua.

4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis, et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh,

Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas, et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine:

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.

9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus, animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:

10 in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum; redime me, et miserere mei.

12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.
