Psalmen 26
Petrus Canisius Bible, 1939 (De Heilige Schrift)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Van David. Wees mijn Rechter, o Jahweh! Want mijn wandel is rein; Altijd heb ik op Jahweh vertrouwd, Nooit gewankeld!
1The psalm of David before he was anointed. 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?
2Beproef mij, en toets mij, o Jahweh; Doorgrond mijn nieren en hart.
2Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
3Want uw liefde houd ik voor ogen, En in uw waarheid heb ik geleefd;
3If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
4Ik heb geen gemeenschap met veinzers, Met gluipers ga ik niet om;
4One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
5Ik haat het gezelschap der bozen, En met slechtaards zit ik niet aan.
5For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
6Maar ik was mijn handen in onschuld, En sta rond uw altaar,
6He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
7O Jahweh, om U een loflied te zingen, En al uw wonderen te melden.
7Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
8Jahweh, ik bemin het huis, waar Gij toeft, De woonplaats van uw heerlijkheid.
8My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
9Werp mij niet weg met de zondaars, Mijn leven niet met moordenaars,
9Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
10Aan wier handen misdaad kleeft, Wier rechterhand is omgekocht.
10For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
11Neen, ik wandel in onschuld; Red mij dus, Jahweh, en wees mij genadig!
11Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
12Mijn voet staat in de gerechtigheid vast; Ik zal U loven, o Jahweh, in de volle gemeente!
12Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
