תהילים 26

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

By David. Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

2 בְּחָנֵנִי יְהוָה וְנַסֵּנִי צרופה צָרְפָה כִלְיוֹתַי וְלִבִּֽי׃

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3 כִּֽי־חַסְדְּךָ לְנֶגֶד עֵינָי וְהִתְהַלַּכְתִּי בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

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

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 שָׂנֵאתִי קְהַל מְרֵעִים וְעִם־רְשָׁעִים לֹא אֵשֵֽׁב׃

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 אֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּי וַאֲסֹבְבָה אֶת־מִזְבַּחֲךָ יְהוָֽה׃

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

7 לַשְׁמִעַ בְּקוֹל תּוֹדָה וּלְסַפֵּר כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

8 יְֽהוָה אָהַבְתִּי מְעוֹן בֵּיתֶךָ וּמְקוֹם מִשְׁכַּן כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

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

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

10 אֲשֶׁר־בִּידֵיהֶם זִמָּה וִֽימִינָם מָלְאָה שֹּֽׁחַד׃

in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

11 וַאֲנִי בְּתֻמִּי אֵלֵךְ פְּדֵנִי וְחָנֵּֽנִי׃

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 רַגְלִי עָֽמְדָה בְמִישׁוֹר בְּמַקְהֵלִים אֲבָרֵךְ יְהוָֽה׃

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
