Psalmen 26

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