Psalm 26 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh

Psa 26:1

Of David.

Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity,

And I have trusted in Yahweh; I will not waver.

Psa 26:2

Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;

Refine my [fn]mind and my heart.

Psa 26:3

For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,

And I have walked in Your [fn]truth.

Psa 26:4

I do not sit with worthless men,

And I will not go with [fn]pretenders.

Psa 26:5

I hate the assembly of evildoers,

And I will not sit with the wicked.

Psa 26:6

I shall wash my hands in innocence,

So I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh,

Psa 26:7

In order to proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving

And to recount all Your [fn]wondrous deeds.

Psa 26:8

O Yahweh, I love the habitation of Your house

And the place [fn]where Your glory dwells.

Psa 26:9

Do not [fn]take my soul away along with sinners,

Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

Psa 26:10

In whose hands is a wicked scheme,

And whose right hand is full of bribes.

Psa 26:11

But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;

Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

Psa 26:12

My foot stands on level ground;

In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
