תהילים 26

1 לְדָוִד ׀ שָׁפְטֵנִי יְהוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי הָלַכְתִּי וּבַיהוָה בָּטַחְתִּי לֹא אֶמְעָֽד׃

“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 בְּחָנֵנִי יְהוָה וְנַסֵּנִי צרופה צָרְפָה כִלְיוֹתַי וְלִבִּֽי׃

Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!

3 כִּֽי־חַסְדְּךָ לְנֶגֶד עֵינָי וְהִתְהַלַּכְתִּי בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃

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

4 לֹא־יָשַׁבְתִּי עִם־מְתֵי־שָׁוְא וְעִם נַעֲלָמִים לֹא אָבֽוֹא׃

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

5 שָׂנֵאתִי קְהַל מְרֵעִים וְעִם־רְשָׁעִים לֹא אֵשֵֽׁב׃

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

6 אֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּי וַאֲסֹבְבָה אֶת־מִזְבַּחֲךָ יְהוָֽה׃

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

7 לַשְׁמִעַ בְּקוֹל תּוֹדָה וּלְסַפֵּר כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 יְֽהוָה אָהַבְתִּי מְעוֹן בֵּיתֶךָ וּמְקוֹם מִשְׁכַּן כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

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

9 אַל־תֶּאֱסֹף עִם־חַטָּאִים נַפְשִׁי וְעִם־אַנְשֵׁי דָמִים חַיָּֽי׃

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

10 אֲשֶׁר־בִּידֵיהֶם זִמָּה וִֽימִינָם מָלְאָה שֹּֽׁחַד׃

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

11 וַאֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי אֵלֵךְ פְּדֵנִי וְחָנֵּֽנִי׃

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

12 רַגְלִי עָֽמְדָה בְמִישׁוֹר בְּמַקְהֵלִים אֲבָרֵךְ יְהוָֽה׃

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