Psalm 26
1. (0) By David: 1 (1) Vindicate me, Adonai, 1 for I have lived a blameless life; 1 unwaveringly I trust in Adonai.
2. Examine me, Adonai, test me, 2 search my mind and heart.
3. For your grace is there before my eyes, 3 and I live my life by your truth.
4. I have not sat with worthless folks, 4 I won’t consort with hypocrites,
5. I hate the company of evildoers, 5 I will not sit with the wicked.
6. I will wash my hands in innocence 6 and walk around your altar, Adonai,
7. lifting my voice in thanks 7 and proclaiming all your wonders.
8. Adonai, I love the house where you live, 8 the place where your glory abides.
9. Don’t include me with sinners 9 or my life with the bloodthirsty.
10. In their hands are evil schemes; 10 their right hands are full of bribes.
11. As for me, I will live a blameless life. 11 Redeem me and show me favor.
12. My feet are planted on level ground; 12 in the assemblies I will bless Adonai.
