Psalm 26

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

2Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me; refine my mind, refine my heart.

3For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I have walked in your faithfulness.

4I have not sat with lying men, nor will I go in with hypocrites.

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

6I will wash my hands in innocence and circle your altar, Yahweh.

7to proclaim thanksgiving aloud and declare all your wondrous deeds.

8Yahweh, I love the dwelling of your house and the place of your glory's dwelling.

9Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood.

10whose hands harbor mischief, and their right hand is filled with bribes.

11But I will walk in my integrity; redeem me and be gracious to me.

12My foot stands in a level place; in the assemblies I will bless Yahweh.
