Psalms 26

1[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O YHWH, for I have walked in mine integrity, And I have trusted in YHWH without wavering.

2Examine me, O YHWH, and try me; Test my reins and my heart.

3For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; And I have walked in Thy truth.

4I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5I hate the gathering of evil doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocency; So will I compass Thine altar, O YHWH,

7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all Thy wondrous works.

8YHWH, I love the habitation of Thy house, And the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

9Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

10In whose hands is craftiness, And their right hand is full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12My foot standeth in an even place; In the congregations will I bless YHWH.
