Psalms 26

1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O HaShem, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in HaShem without wavering. 2 Examine me, O HaShem, and try me; test my reins and my heart. 3 For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth. 4 I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5 I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O HaShem, 7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. 8 HaShem, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth. 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood; 10 In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me. 12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless HaShem.
