< Psalms 26 >
1 BY DAVID. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in YHWH, I do not slide.
2 Try me, O YHWH, and prove me, My reins and my heart [are] purified,
3 For Your kindness [is] before my eyes, And I have habitually walked in Your truth.
4 I have not sat with vain men, And I do not enter with pretenders.
5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And I do not sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, And I go around Your altar, O YHWH.
7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Your wonders.
8 YHWH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place of the Dwelling Place of Your glory.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, And my life with men of blood,
10 In whose hand [is] a wicked scheme, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.
11 And I walk in my integrity, Redeem me, and favor me.
12 My foot has stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless YHWH!
