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 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.
