Psalm 26

By David. 1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity.
I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering. 2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me.
Try my heart and my mind. 3For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I have walked in your truth. 4I have not sat with deceitful men,
neither will I go in with hypocrites. 5I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and will not sit with the wicked. 6I will wash my hands in innocence,
so I will go about your altar, Yahweh, 7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard
and tell of all your wondrous deeds. 8Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,
the place where your glory dwells. 9Don’t gather my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

10in whose hands is wickedness,
their right hand is full of bribes. 11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be merciful to me. 12My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
