Psalms26

0Of David.

1Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity, and in Yahweh I have trusted; I will not slip.

2Test me, Yahweh, and put me to the proof; refine my kidneys and my heart.

3For your loyal love is before my eyes, and I walk about in your stability.

4I have not dwelled with men of emptiness, and with those who conceal themselves I will not go.

5I hate the assembly of evildoers, and with the wicked I will not dwell.

6I will wash my palms in cleanness and go around your altar, Yahweh,

7to make the sound of thanksgiving heard, and to recount all your wonders.

8Yahweh, I loved the dwelling place of your house and the place of the dwelling of your weightiness.

9Do not gather my being with sinners, nor my life with men of bloodshed,

10in whose hands is a scheme, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

11But I in my integrity will walk; redeem me and show me favor.

12My foot has stood on level ground; in the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
