Psalms 26
Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh
1 (C1)Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have (C2)walked in my integrity,
And I have (C3)trusted in Yahweh; (C4)I will not waver.
2 (C1)Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;
(C2)Refine my (F1)mind and my heart.
3 For Your (C1)lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have (C2)walked in Your (F1)truth.
4 I do not (C1)sit with worthless men,
And I will not go with (F1)(C2)pretenders.
5 I (C1)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall (C1)wash my hands in innocence,
So I will go around (C2)Your altar, O Yahweh,
7 In order to proclaim with the voice of (C1)thanksgiving
And to recount all Your (F1)wondrous deeds.
8 O Yahweh, I (C1)love the habitation of Your house
And the place (F1)where Your (C2)glory dwells.
9 (C1)Do not (F1)take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with (C2)men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a (C1)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of (C2)bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall (C1)walk in my integrity;
(C2)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 (C1)My foot stands on (C2)level ground;
In the (C3)congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
