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.

Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].

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

Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].

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

I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.

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

I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.

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

I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.

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

Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,

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

we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].

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

Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.

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

Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,

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

and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.

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

But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.

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

I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
