Chapter 26

By David.

1

Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

2

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart.

3

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

9

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

10

In whose hand is a wicked device, And their right hand is full of bribes.

11

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

12

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
