Psalms 26

1 [By David.] Judge me, Jehovah, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי בְּתֻמִּ֣י הָלַ֑כְתִּי וּבַיהוָ֥ה בָּ֝טַ֗חְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶמְעָֽד׃

2 Examine me, Jehovah, 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, Jehovah;

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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah.

רַ֭גְלִי עָֽמְדָ֣ה בְמִישֹׁ֑ור בְּ֝מַקְהֵלִ֗ים אֲבָרֵ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה׃
