Psalm 26

Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh

Of David.

Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity,
And I have trusted in Yahweh; I will not waver.
2
Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;
Refine my mind and my heart.
3
For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked in Your truth.
4
I do not sit with worthless men,
And I will not go with pretenders.
5
I hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6
I shall wash my hands in innocence,
So I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh,
7
In order to proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving
And to recount all Your wondrous deeds.

8
O Yahweh, I love the habitation of Your house
And the place where Your glory dwells.
9
Do not take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
10
In whose hands is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12
My foot stands on level ground;
In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
