Psalms, 26

Of David.

1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I myself have walked in my own integrity, And in Jehovah I have trusted, that I may not wobble.

2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and put me to the test; Refine my kidneys*1 and my heart.

  1. Or, “my deepest emotions.” Heb., khil·yoh·thaiʹ.

3 For your loving-kindness is in front of my eyes, And I have walked in your truth.

4 I have not sat with men of untruth; And with those who hide what they are I do not come in.

5 I have hated the congregation*1 of evildoers, And with the wicked ones I do not sit.

  1. “Congregation of.” Heb., qehalʹ; Gr., ek·kle·siʹan; Lat., ec·cleʹsi·am.

6 I shall wash my hands in innocency itself, And I will march around your altar, O Jehovah,

7 To cause thanksgiving to be heard aloud,*1 And to declare all your wonderful works.

  1. Lit., “with a voice.”

8 Jehovah, I have loved the dwelling of your house And the place of the residing of your glory.

9 Do not take away*1 my soul along with sinners, Nor my life along with bloodguilty men,

  1. Lit., “Do not gather.”

10 In whose hands there is loose conduct, And whose right hand is full of bribery.

11 As for me, in my integrity I shall walk. O redeem me and show me favor.

12 My own foot will certainly stand on a level place; Among the congregated throngs*1 I shall bless Jehovah.*2

  1. “Among the congregated throngs.” Heb., bemaq·he·limʹ; Gr., ek·kle·siʹais; Lat., ec·cleʹsi·is.

  2. “Bless Jehovah,” MTSy; LXXVg, “bless you, O Jehovah.”
