Psalmorum 26

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

Judge me, O YHWH; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in YHWH; therefore I shall not slide.

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

Examine me, O YHWH, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

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 vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium: et cum impiis non sedebo.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

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

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O YHWH:

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

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

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

YHWH, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour 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 bloody men:

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

In whose hands is mischief, 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 YHWH.
