Psalms 26

David iudica me Deus quoniam ego in simplicitate mea ambulavi et in Domino confidens non deficiam

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

proba me Domine et tempta me ure renes meos et cor meum

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

quia misericordia tua in conspectu oculorum meorum est et ambulabo in veritate tua

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

non sedi cum viris vanitatis et cum superbis non ingrediar

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

odivi ecclesiam pessimorum et cum iniquis non sedebo

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

lavabo in innocentia manus meas et circuibo altare tuum Domine

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

ut clara voce praedicem laudem et narrem omnia mirabilia tua

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

Domine dilexi habitaculum domus tuae et locum tabernaculi gloriae tuae

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

ne auferas cum peccatoribus animam meam cum viris sanguinum vitam meam

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

in quorum manibus scelus est et dextera eorum repleta est muneribus

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

ego autem in simplicitate mea gradiar redime me et miserere mei

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

pes meus stetit in recto in ecclesiis benedicam Domino

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