Psalm 26 — Legacy Standard Bible

Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh

Of David.

^aGive justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have ^bwalked in my integrity,And I have ^ctrusted in Yahweh; ^dI will not waver.²^aTest me, O Yahweh, and try me;^bRefine my ¹mind and my heart.³For Your ^alovingkindness is before my eyes,And I have ^bwalked in Your ¹truth.⁴I do not ^asit with worthless men,And I will not go with ¹^,^bpretenders.⁵I ^ahate the assembly of evildoers,And I will not sit with the wicked.⁶I shall ^awash my hands in innocence,So I will go around ^bYour altar, O Yahweh,⁷In order to proclaim with the voice of ^athanksgivingAnd to recount all Your ¹wondrous deeds.⁸O Yahweh, I ^alove the habitation of Your houseAnd the place ¹where Your ^bglory dwells.⁹^aDo not ¹take my soul away along with sinners,Nor my life with ^bmen of bloodshed,¹⁰In whose hands is a ^awicked scheme,And whose right hand is full of ^bbribes.¹¹But as for me, I shall ^awalk in my integrity;^bRedeem me, and be gracious to me.¹²^aMy foot stands on ^blevel ground;In the ^ccongregations I shall bless Yahweh.
