Psalms 26 · תהילים

Of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my integrity: and I have trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

For Thy loyal love is before my eyes: and I have walked in Thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither do I enter the company of dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and I do not sit with the wicked.

I wash my hands in innocency: so I compass Thy altar, O Lord:

that I may sound the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

Lord, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwells.

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

in whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations I will bless the Lord.
