Psalms 26

¹Of David. Judge me, O Yahweh, because I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted Yahweh and not wavered. ²Prove me, O Yahweh, and test me. Try my ⌞innermost being⌟ and my ⌞mind⌟. ³Because your loyal love is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness. ⁴I do not sit with deceitful people, nor will I go about with hypocrites. ⁵I hate the crowd of evildoers, and with the wicked I will not sit. ⁶I will wash my hands in innocence, and I will walk about your altar, O Yahweh, ⁷to declare with a voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all your wondrous deeds. ⁸O Yahweh, I love the dwelling of your house, and ⌞the place where your glory abides⌟. ⁹Do not destroy me with the sinners, nor my life with men of bloodshed, ¹⁰in whose hands is an evil plan, and whose right hand is full of bribes. ¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me. ¹²My foot stands on level ground. In assemblies I will bless Yahweh.
