26 Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity:
I have trusted also in Jehovah ^[a]without wavering.
² Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me;
Try my ^[b]heart and my mind.
³ For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes;
And I have walked in thy truth.
⁴ I have not sat with men of falsehood;
Neither will I go in with dissemblers.
⁵ I hate the assembly of evil-doers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
⁶ I will wash my hands in innocency:
So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
⁷ That I may ^[c]make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
And tell of all thy wondrous works.
⁸ Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house,
And the place ^[d]where thy glory dwelleth.
^9 [e]Gather not my soul with sinners,
Nor my life with men of blood;
¹⁰ In whose hands is wickedness,
And their right hand is full of bribes.
¹¹ But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:
Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
¹² My foot standeth in an even place:
In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
