‏ Psalms 26

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