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.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.

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 kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.

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

I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.

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

I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not sit with the wicked.

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

I wash my hands in innocence. And go around thine altar. O LORD!

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

To utter 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.

O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!

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

Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,

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

In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!

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

But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!

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

My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
