[A Psalm] of David. 26:1 Judge me, O Yehovah; 
    for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in Yehovah I shall not be 
    moved. 
     
    26:2 Prove me, O Yehovah, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my 
    heart. 
     
    26:3 For thy mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with thy 
    truth. 
     
    26:4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in 
    with transgressors. 
     
    26:5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with 
    ungodly [men]. 
     
    26:6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass thine altar, O Yehovah:  
     
    26:7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all thy wonderful works. 
     
    26:8 O Yehovah, I have loved the beauty of thy house, and the place of the 
    tabernacle of thy glory. 
     
    26:9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody 
    men: 
     
    26:10 in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with 
    bribes. 
     
    26:11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me. 
     
    26:12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless 
    thee, O Yehovah.  | 
    A [Psalm] of David. 26:1 Judge me, O Yehovah; 
    for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Yehovah; 
    therefore I shall not slide. 
     
    26:2 Examine me, O Yehovah, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 
     
    26:3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy 
    truth. 
     
    26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with 
    dissemblers. 
     
    26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the 
    wicked. 
     
    26:6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O 
    Yehovah: 
     
    26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy 
    wondrous works. 
     
    26:8 Yehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where 
    thine honour dwelleth. 
     
    26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 
     
    26:10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 
     
    26:11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be 
    merciful unto me. 
     
    26:12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless 
    Yehovah.  |
