| Chapter 26 |
1 |
{[A Psalm] of David.} Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip. --
|
2 |
Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart: --
|
3 |
For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth. --
|
4 |
I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers; --
|
5 |
I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked. --
|
6 |
I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah, --
|
7 |
That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works. --
|
8 |
Jehovah, I have loved 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 are evil devices, 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 Jehovah. --
