Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

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

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

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

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

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

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

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

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

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

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

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

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and 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 mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

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

12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.

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