Psalm 26:1-12
David’s.
26 Do me justice, O Yahweh, For I in my blamelessness have walked, And in Yahweh have I trusted, I will not waver.
2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart:—
3 For thy lovingkindness hath been before mine eyes, And I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;
4 I have not sat with men of deceit, Nor with dissemblers would I enter;
5 I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, And with lawless men would I not sit;
6 I will bathe in pureness my hands,—So will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;
7 To sound aloud a song, And to recount all thy wonderful doings.
8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, Even the place of the habitation of thy glory!
9 Do not remove with sinners my soul, Nor with men of bloodshed my life;
10 In whose hands is a plot, And their right hand is filled with a bribe.
11 But I in my blamelessness will walk, Redeem me and shew me favour.
12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations will I bless Yahweh.
