Psalm
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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,
|
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
