< 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.
By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
2 Test me O Yahweh and put to [the] test me (test! *Q(k)*) kidneys my and heart my.
Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3 For covenant loyalty your [is] to before eyes my and I walk about in faithfulness your.
For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4 Not I sit with men of falsehood and with [those who] conceal themselves not I go.
I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I hate [the] assembly of evil-doers and with wicked [people] not I sit.
I hate the assembly of evildoers, 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 my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,
7 To make heard a sound of thanksgiving and to recount all wonders your.
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8 O Yahweh I love [the] habitation of house your and [the] place of [the] dwelling of glory your.
LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9 May not you remove with sinners life my and with people of blood life my.
Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men
10 [those] whom [is] in Hands their wickedness and right [hand] their it is full a bribe.
in whose hands is wickedness; 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 my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 Foot my it has stood on level ground in assemblies I will bless Yahweh.
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
