26 (Of Dovid) Vindicate me, Hashem; for I have walked in mine tohm (guilelessness); I have trusted also in Hashem without wavering.

Examine me, Hashem, and prove me; try my heart and my mind.

For Thy chesed is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy emes.

I do not sit with meteishav (men of vanity), neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the kehal mere’im (congregation of evil doers); and will not sit with the resha’im.

I will wash mine hands in nikkayon (innocency, cleanness, freedom from punishment); so will I encompass Thine Mizbe’ach, Hashem;

That I may publish with the voice of todah, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

Hashem, I have loved the ma’on of Thy Bais [HaMikdash], and the Mishkan where Thine kavod dwelleth.

Take not away my nefesh with chatta’im (sinners), nor my Chai (life) with anshei damim;

10 In whose hands is zimmah (wicked plans), and their right hand is full of shochad (bribery).

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, v’chaneini (and be merciful and gracious unto me).

12 My regel standeth on level ground; in the great assemblies unto Hashem will I render brocha.

I Will Bless the Lord

Of David.

26 (A)Vindicate me, O Lord,
    for I have (B)walked in my integrity,
    and I have (C)trusted in the Lord without wavering.
(D)Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
    test my heart and (E)my mind.[a]
For your (F)steadfast love is before my eyes,
    and I (G)walk in your (H)faithfulness.

I do not (I)sit with men of (J)falsehood,
    nor do I consort with hypocrites.
I (K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
    and I will not sit with the wicked.

I (L)wash my hands in innocence
    and go around your altar, O Lord,
proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
    and telling all your (M)wondrous deeds.

O Lord, I (N)love the habitation of your house
    and the place where your glory dwells.
(O)Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
    nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10 in whose hands are evil devices,
    and whose right hands are full of (P)bribes.

11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
    redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on (Q)level ground;
    in (R)the great assembly I will bless the Lord.

Ang Panalangin ng Taong Matuwid

26 Patunayan nʼyo, Panginoon, na akoʼy walang kasalanan,
    dahil akoʼy namumuhay nang matuwid,
    at nagtitiwala sa inyo ng walang pag-aalinlangan.
Siyasatin at subukin nʼyo ako, Panginoon.
    Suriin nʼyo ang aking pusoʼt isipan,
dahil lagi kong naaalala ang inyong pagmamahal,
    at namumuhay ako na pinanghahawakan ang inyong katapatan.
Hindi ako sumasama sa mga taong sinungaling at mapagpanggap.
Kinaiinisan ko ang mga pagsasama-sama ng masasamang tao,
    at hindi ako nakikisama sa kanila.
6-7 Naghuhugas ako ng kamay upang ipakitang akoʼy walang kasalanan.
    Pagkatapos, pumupunta[a] ako sa pinaghahandugan ng hayop at ibaʼt ibang ani upang sumamba sa inyo, O Panginoon,
    na umaawit ng papuriʼt pasasalamat.
    Sinasabi ko sa mga tao ang lahat ng inyong mga kahanga-hangang ginawa.
Panginoon, mahal ko ang templo na inyong tahanan,
    na siyang kinaroroonan ng inyong kaluwalhatian.
9-10 Huwag nʼyo po akong parusahang kasama ng mga makasalanan,
    gaya ng mga mamamatay-tao.
    Palagi silang handang gumawa ng masama,
    at nanghihingi ng suhol.
11 Ngunit akoʼy namumuhay nang matuwid,
    kaya iligtas nʼyo ako at inyong kahabagan.

12 Ngayon, ligtas na ako sa panganib,[b]
    kaya pupurihin ko kayo, Panginoon, sa gitna ng inyong mamamayang nagtitipon-tipon.
