Psalms 26
1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; 1 I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering. 1
2Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; 1 test the purity of my inner parts and my heart! 1
3For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, 1 and I walk about in your faithfulness. 1
4I do not associate with deceitful people, 1 nor do I mingle with dishonest people. 1
5I hate the assembly of evildoers, 1 and I do not live with the wicked. 1
6I wash my hands in innocence, 1 and I go around your altar, Yahweh, 1
7to sing a loud song of praise 1 and report all your wonderful deeds. 1
8Yahweh, I love the house where you live, 1 the place where your glory lives! 1
9Do not sweep me away with sinners, 1 or my life with people who are bloodthirsty, 1
10in whose hands there is a plot, 1 and whose right hand is full of bribes. 1
11But as for me, I will walk in integrity; 1 redeem me and have mercy on me. 1
12My foot stands on level ground; 1 in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!
