< Psalms 26 >

1 [By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.
לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי בְּתֻמִּ֣י הָלַ֑כְתִּי וּבַיהוָ֥ה בָּ֝טַ֗חְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶמְעָֽד׃
2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
בְּחָנֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה וְנַסֵּ֑נִי צְרֹופָה (צָרְפָ֖ה) כִלְיֹותַ֣י וְלִבִּֽי׃
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָ֑י וְ֝הִתְהַלַּ֗כְתִּי בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
4 I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
לֹא־יָ֭שַׁבְתִּי עִם־מְתֵי־שָׁ֑וְא וְעִ֥ם נַ֝עֲלָמִ֗ים לֹ֣א אָבֹֽוא׃
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
שָׂ֭נֵאתִי קְהַ֣ל מְרֵעִ֑ים וְעִם־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א אֵשֵֽׁב׃
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD;
אֶרְחַ֣ץ בְּנִקָּיֹ֣ון כַּפָּ֑י וַאֲסֹבְבָ֖ה אֶת־מִזְבַּחֲךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.
לַ֭שְׁמִעַ בְּקֹ֣ול תֹּודָ֑ה וּ֝לְסַפֵּ֗ר כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
יְֽהוָ֗ה אָ֭הַבְתִּי מְעֹ֣ון בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מְקֹ֗ום מִשְׁכַּ֥ן כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
אַל־תֶּאֱסֹ֣ף עִם־חַטָּאִ֣ים נַפְשִׁ֑י וְעִם־אַנְשֵׁ֖י דָמִ֣ים חַיָּֽי׃
10 in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.
אֲשֶׁר־בִּידֵיהֶ֥ם זִמָּ֑ה וִֽ֝ימִינָ֗ם מָ֣לְאָה שֹּֽׁחַד׃
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
וַ֭אֲנִי בְּתֻמִּ֥י אֵלֵ֗ךְ פְּדֵ֣נִי וְחָנֵּֽנִי׃
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
רַ֭גְלִי עָֽמְדָ֣ה בְמִישֹׁ֑ור בְּ֝מַקְהֵלִ֗ים אֲבָרֵ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה׃
