Chapter 26

  [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering.  

-

  Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind.  

-

  For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; And I have walked in thy truth.  

-

  I have not sat with men of falsehood; Neither will I go in with dissemblers.  

-

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

-

  I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;  

-

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

-

  Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.  

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

  My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
