Psalms 26

1 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

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

1By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

2 Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

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

2Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified <FI>are<Fi> my reins and my heart.

3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

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

3For Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

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

4I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

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

5I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

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

6I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7 That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

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

7To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

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

8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

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

9Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

10 In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

10In whose hand <FI>is<Fi> a wicked device, And their right hand <FI>is<Fi> full of bribes.

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

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

11And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

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

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

12My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
