Psalms [Praises]. Chapter 26. Judge me, Adonai , for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Adonai without wavering. Examine me, Adonai , and prove me. Try my heart and my mind. For your cheshed ·loving-kindness· is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth. I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites. I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Adonai ; that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and tell of all your wondrous deeds. Adonai , I 'ahav ·affectionately love· the habitation of your house, the place where your kavod ·weighty glory· dwells. Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men; in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes. But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me. My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Adonai .
