Psalmorum 26

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

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

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

Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.

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

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

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

I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

7 Ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

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

10 In quorum manibus iniquitates sunt: dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

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

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

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

My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
