Psalms 26

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in my integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

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

2 Examine me, O LORD, and test me; try my reins and my heart.

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

3 For thy lovingkindness is before my 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 will I go in with hypocrites.

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

5 I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked.

Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency: so will I go about thy altar, O LORD:

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

7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy honour dwelleth.

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

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

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

10 In whose hands is mischief, 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 my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful to 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 the LORD.

Pes meus stetit in directo: in ecclesiis benedicam te Domine.
