Psalms 26
1 Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.
2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
