Psalm 26
26
I Will Bless the Lord
Of David.
1 # See Ps. 7:8 Vindicate me, O Lord,
for I have #ver. 11 walked in my integrity,
and I have #See Ps. 11:1trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2 # See Ps. 7:9; 17:3; 139:23 Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
test my heart and #Ps. 7:9my mind.#26:2 Hebrew test my kidneys and my heart
3For your #[Ps. 25:10] steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I #2 Kgs. 20:3; [Ps. 86:11]walk in your #[Ps. 25:10] faithfulness.
4I do not #See Ps. 1:1 sit with men of #Job 11:11falsehood,
nor do I consort with hypocrites.
5I #Ps. 31:6; 139:21, 22hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.
6I #Ps. 73:13; [Ex. 30:19, 20; Deut. 21:6]wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O Lord,
7proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
and telling all your #See Ps. 9:1wondrous deeds.
8O Lord, I #[Ps. 27:4]love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
9 # [Ps. 28:3] Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10in whose hands are evil devices,
and whose right hands are full of #Ex. 23:8; Deut. 16:19bribes.
11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12My foot stands on #See Ps. 27:11 level ground;
in #Ps. 22:25the great assembly I will bless the Lord.

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.
