Salmi 26

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 David. Iudica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.	1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Proba me, Domine, et tenta me; ure renes meos et cor meum. —	2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
3 Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est, et ambulavi in veritate tua.	3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.
4 Non sedi cum viris vanitatis et cum occulte agentibus non introibo.	4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5 Odivi ecclesiam malignantium et cum impiis non sedebo.	5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
6 Lavabo in innocentia manus meas et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine,	6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
7 ut auditas faciam voces laudis et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.	7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.
8 Domine, dilexi habitaculum domus tuae et locum habitationis gloriae tuae.	8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.
9 Ne colligas cum impiis animam meam et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam,	9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour.
10 in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt, dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.	10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.
11 Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum; redime me et miserere mei.	11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
12 Pes meus stetit in directo, in ecclesiis benedicam Domino.	12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
	13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
	14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
