Psalms 26

¹> Judge 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 evil-doers, 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 works.

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.
