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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

5I have hated the congregation 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10In whose hands is mischief, 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.

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.

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

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