الْمَزْمُورُ السَّادِسُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ
لِدَاوُدَ
1رَبُّ أَظْهِرْ بَرَاءَتِي لأَنِّي قَدْ سَلَكْتُ بِكَمَالِي، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ 2افْحَصْنِي أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ وَاخْتَبِرْنِي. امْتَحِنْ دَخَائِلِي وَقَلْبِي، 3لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَدْ سَلَكْتُ فِي حَقِّكَ. 4لَمْ أُجَالِسْ أَهْلَ الْبَاطِلِ وَمَعَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا أَشْتَرِكُ. 5بَلْ أَبْغَضْتُ مَعْشَرَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، وَلَمْ أَجْلِسْ مَعَ الأَشْرَارِ. 6أَغْسِلُ يَدَيَّ عُرْبُونَ بَرَاءَتِي وَأَنْضَمُّ إِلَى الْمُجْتَمِعِينَ حَوْلَ مَذْبَحِكَ يَا رَبُّ. 7مُتَرَنِّماً بِصَوْتِ الْحَمْدِ وَأُحَدِّثُ بِأَعْمَالِكَ الْعَجِيبَةِ كُلِّهَا. 8رَبُّ، قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ الإِقَامَةَ فِي بَيْتِكَ، حَيْثُ يَحِلُّ مَجْدُكَ.
9فَلَا تَجْمَعْ نَفْسِي مَعَ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلَا حَيَاتِي مَعَ سَافِكِي الدَّمِ، 10الَّذِينَ أَيْدِيهِمْ مُلَوَّثَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ، وَيَمِينُهُمْ مَلأَى بِالرِّشْوَةِ. 11أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكَمَالِي أَسْلُكُ، فَافْدِنِي وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ. 12قَدَمَايَ مُنْتَصِبَتَانِ عَلَى طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ جَهْراً فِي مَحَافِلِ الْعِبَادَةِ.
A Psalm of David.
1Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.26.8 where…: Heb. of the tabernacle of thy honour
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:26.9 Gather…: or, Take not away26.9 bloody…: Heb. men of blood
10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.26.10 full…: Heb. filled with
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
