Psalm 25 (26)

Psalm 25, Catholic Public Domain Version

1. Unto 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.

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

2. 2

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

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

3. 3

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

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

4. 4

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

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

5. 5

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

   Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.

6. 6

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

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

7. 7

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

   ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.

8. 8

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

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

9. 9

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

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

10. 10

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

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

11. 11

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

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

12. 12

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

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