Psalms 26

¹Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering. ²Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind. ³For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth. ⁴I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites. ⁵I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. ⁶I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh; ⁷that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous deeds. ⁸Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells. ⁹Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men; ¹⁰in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes. ¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me. ¹²My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

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 evildoers; 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. ⁹Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: ¹⁰In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 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.
