Psalm 26

Judge me, Adonai, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Adonai without wavering.

Examine me, Adonai, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

For your chesed ·loving-kindness· is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

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

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Adonai;

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

Adonai, I 'ahav ·affectionately love· the habitation of your house, the place where your kavod ·weighty glory· dwells.

Don’t gather my soul with people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal·, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Adonai.
