26 ¶ Se yon sòm David. Fè m' jistis, Seyè, paske m'ap viv yon jan ki san repwòch. Mwen mete tout konfyans mwen nan ou, mwen pa janm lage ou.

Fouye m', Seyè. Wè tou sa ki nan kè mwen. Sonde m'. Wè tou sa ki nan lide m',

Ou fè m' wè jan ou renmen mwen. M'ap viv yon jan ki dakò ak verite ou la.

Mwen pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap bay manti, mwen pa gen anyen pou m' wè ak moun ipokrit.

Mwen rayi tout moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Mwen pa chita ansanm ak mechan yo.

¶ Seyè, m'ap lave men m' pou m' moutre jan m' inonsan, mwen pral pwoche bò lotèl ou a,

pou m' fè tout moun tande jan m'ap di ou mèsi, pou m' rakonte tout bèl bagay ou yo.

Seyè, mwen renmen kay kote ou rete a, kay kote pouvwa ou ye a.

Pa trete m' menm jan ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. Pa detwi m' ansanm ak sanginè yo,

10 ansanm ak moun sa yo k'ap fè krim tout tan, ki toujou pare pou achte bouch moun.

11 Pou mwen menm, m'ap mennen yon lavi ki san repwòch. Delivre m', gen pitye pou mwen.

12 M'ap mache byen fèm nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a. M'a fè lwanj Seyè a nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini.

By David.

26 Judge me favorably, O Lord,
because I have walked with integrity
and I have trusted you without wavering.
Examine me, O Lord, and test me.
Look closely into my heart and mind.
I see your mercy in front of me.
I walk in the light of your truth.
I did not sit with liars,
and I will not be found among hypocrites.
I have hated the mob of evildoers
and will not sit with wicked people.
I will wash my hands in innocence.
I will walk around your altar, O Lord,
so that I may loudly sing a hymn of thanksgiving
and tell about all your miracles.

O Lord, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.

Do not sweep away my soul along with hardened sinners
or my life along with bloodthirsty people.
10 Evil schemes are in their hands.
Their right hands are full of bribes.
11 But I walk with integrity.
Rescue me, and have pity on me.
12 My feet stand on level ground.
I will praise the Lord with the choirs in worship.

Prayer for Vindication

Of David.

26 Vindicate me, Lord,
because I have lived with integrity
and have trusted in the Lord without wavering.(A)
Test me, Lord, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.(B)
For your faithful love guides me,[a]
and I live by your truth.(C)

I do not sit with the worthless
or associate with hypocrites.
I hate a crowd of evildoers,
and I do not sit with the wicked.(D)
I wash my hands in innocence(E)
and go round your altar, Lord,(F)
raising my voice in thanksgiving(G)
and telling about your wondrous works.(H)

Lord, I love the house where you dwell,
the place where your glory resides.(I)
Do not destroy me along with sinners,
or my life along with men of bloodshed(J)
10 in whose hands are evil schemes
and whose right hands are filled with bribes.(K)

11 But I live with integrity;
redeem me and be gracious to me.(L)
12 My foot stands on level ground;(M)
I will bless the Lord in the assemblies.(N)
