< Psalms 26 >

1 Judge me, O YHWH; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in YHWH; therefore I shall not slide.
[By David.] Judge me, Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.
2 Examine me, O YHWH, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
Examine me, Jehovah, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O YHWH:
I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Jehovah;
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
8 YHWH, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
Jehovah, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless YHWH.
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Jehovah.
