Psalm 26

1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering. 2Try my heart and my mind. Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. 3I have walked in your truth. For your loving kindness is before my eyes. 4neither will I go in with hypocrites. I have not sat with deceitful men, 5and will not sit with the wicked. I hate the assembly of evildoers, 6so I will go about your altar, Yahweh; I will wash my hands in innocence, 7that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous deeds. 8the place where your glory dwells. Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, 9nor my life with bloodthirsty men; Don’t gather my soul with sinners, 10in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes. 11Redeem me, and be merciful to me. But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. 12In the congregations I will bless Yahweh. My foot stands in an even place.
