Psalm 26

By David.

 ^26:1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity.
      I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

 ^26:2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me.
      Try my heart and my mind.

 ^26:3For your lovingkindness is before my eyes.
      I have walked in your truth.

 ^26:4I have not sat with deceitful men,
      Neither will I go in with hypocrites.

 ^26:5I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
      And will not sit with the wicked.

 ^26:6I will wash my hands in innocence,
      So I will go about your altar, Yahweh;
      ^26:7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
      And tell of all your wondrous works.

 ^26:8Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,
      The place where your glory dwells.

 ^26:9Don't gather my soul with sinners,
      Nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
      ^26:10In whose hands is wickedness,
      Their right hand is full of bribes.

  ^26:11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
      Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

 ^26:12My foot stands in an even place.
      In the congregations will I bless Yahweh.
