Psalmen 26

1Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

2Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

3For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

4I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

5I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

6I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

10In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

11But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.

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

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

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

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

5Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

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

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

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

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

10in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.

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

12Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.]

1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.

2Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.

3For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.

4I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.

5I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.

6I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,

7so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.

8O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.

9O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,

10in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.

11But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
