Psalms 26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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