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. Judica 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.
