< Psalms 26 >
1 A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.
Of David - vindicate me O Yahweh for I in integrity my I have walked and in Yahweh I have trusted not I will slip.
2 Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.
Test me O Yahweh and put to [the] test me (test! *Q(k)*) kidneys my and heart my.
3 For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.
For covenant loyalty your [is] to before eyes my and I walk about in faithfulness your.
4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.
Not I sit with men of falsehood and with [those who] conceal themselves not I go.
5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.
I hate [the] assembly of evil-doers and with wicked [people] not I sit.
6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,
I wash in innocence hands my and I go around altar your O Yahweh.
7 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.
To make heard a sound of thanksgiving and to recount all wonders your.
8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.
O Yahweh I love [the] habitation of house your and [the] place of [the] dwelling of glory your.
9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,
May not you remove with sinners life my and with people of blood life my.
10 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.
[those] whom [is] in Hands their wickedness and right [hand] their it is full a bribe.
11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!
And I in integrity my I will walk redeem me and show favor to me.
12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
Foot my it has stood on level ground in assemblies I will bless Yahweh.
