Psalm 26

¹ A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.

² Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.

³ For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.

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

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

⁶ I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

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

⁸ Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

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

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

¹² My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
