26
1
Judge me, Yahweh,
for I have walked with integrity;
I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.
2
Examine me, Yahweh, and test me;
test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!
3
For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes,
and I walk about in your faithfulness.
4
I do not associate with deceitful people,
nor do I mingle with dishonest people.
5
I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I do not live with the wicked.
6
I wash my hands in innocence,
and I go around your altar, Yahweh,
7
to sing a loud song of praise
and report all your wonderful deeds.
8
Yahweh, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory lives!
9
Do not sweep me away with sinners,
or my life with men of bloodshed,
10
in whose hands there is a plot,
and whose right hand is full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I will walk in integrity;
redeem me and have mercy on me.
12
My foot stands on level ground;
in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!
