Psalms 26

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

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

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

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

3For Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually 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 men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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