Psalm 26:1-12
1 Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in Yahweh; I will not waver.
2 Test me, O Yahweh, and try me; Refine my mind and my heart.
3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
4 I do not sit with worthless men, And I will not go with pretenders.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall wash my hands in innocence, So I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh,
7 In order to proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And to recount all Your wondrous deeds.
8 O Yahweh, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells.
9 Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on level ground; In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
