Psalms 26

1 Of David - vindicate me O Yahweh for I in integrity my I have walked and in Yahweh I have trusted not I will slip.

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.

2 Test me O Yahweh and put to [the] test me (test! *Q(k)*) kidneys my and heart my.

Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

3 For covenant loyalty your [is] to before eyes my and I walk about in faithfulness your.

For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

4 Not I sit with men of falsehood and with [those who] conceal themselves not I go.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I hate [the] assembly of evil-doers and with wicked [people] not I sit.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

6 I wash in innocence hands my and I go around altar your O Yahweh.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

7 To make heard a sound of thanksgiving and to recount all wonders your.

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 O Yahweh I love [the] habitation of house your and [the] place of [the] dwelling of glory your.

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 May not you remove with sinners life my and with people of blood life my.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 [those] whom [is] in Hands their wickedness and right [hand] their it is full a bribe.

In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 And I in integrity my I will walk redeem me and show favor to me.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

12 Foot my it has stood on level ground in assemblies I will bless Yahweh.

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
