Psalms 26

PSALM 26
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk'd
in mine integrity:
I trusted also in the Lord;
slide therefore shall not I.
2Examine me, and do me prove;
try heart and reins, O God:
3For thy love is before mine eyes,
thy truth's paths I have trode.
4With persons vain I have not sat,
nor with dissemblers gone:
5Th' assembly of ill men I hate;
to sit with such I shun.
6Mine hands in innocence, O Lord,
I'll wash and purify;
So to thine holy altar go,
and compass it will I:
7That I, with voice of thanksgiving,
may publish and declare,
And tell of all thy mighty works,
that great and wondrous are.
8The habitation of thy house,
Lord, I have loved well;
Yea, in that place I do delight
where doth thine honour dwell.
9With sinners gather not my soul,
and such as blood would spill:
10Whose hands mischievous plots, right hand
corrupting bribes do fill.
11But as for me, I will walk on
in mine integrity:
Do thou redeem me, and, O Lord,
be merciful to me.
12My foot upon an even place
doth stand with stedfastness:
Within the congregations
th' Eternal I will bless.

Tehillim 26
26
(Of Dovid)
1Vindicate me, Hashem; for I have walked in mine tohm (guilelessness); I have trusted also in Hashem without wavering.
2Examine me, Hashem, and prove me; try my heart and my mind.
3For Thy chesed is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy emes.
4I do not sit with metei-shav (men of vanity), neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5I have hated the kehal mere'im (congregation of evil doers); and will not sit with the resha'im.
6I will wash mine hands in nikkayon (innocency, cleanness, freedom from punishment); so will I encompass Thine Mizbe'ach, Hashem;
7That I may publish with the voice of todah, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
8 Hashem, I have loved the ma'on of Thy Bais,#26:8 HaMikdash and the Mishkan where Thine kavod dwelleth.
9Take not away my nefesh with chatta'im (sinners), nor my Chai (life) with anshei damim;
10In whose hands is zimmah (wicked plans), and their right hand is full of shochad (bribery).
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, v'chaneini (and be merciful and gracious unto me).
12My regel standeth on level ground; in the great assemblies unto Hashem will I render brocha.
