26
1 Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.
2 Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!
3 For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.
4 I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,
7 to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.
8 Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!
9 Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,
10 in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.
12 My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!
