Psalms 26

1Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.

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

2Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

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

3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

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

4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

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

5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

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

6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

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

7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

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

8Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

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

9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

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

10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

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

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

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

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

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