Chapter 26

Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

For your lovingkindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

I have not sat with deceitful men, Neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

I will wash my hands in innocence, So I will go about your altar, Yahweh;

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

Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, The place where your glory dwells.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

In whose hands is wickedness, Their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
