Psalm 26:1-8

Lexham English Bible

26 Judge me, O Yahweh, because I have walked in my integrity,
and I have trusted Yahweh and not wavered.
² Prove me, O Yahweh, and test me.
Try my innermost being^[b] and my mind.^[c]
3 Because your loyal love is before my eyes,
and I walk about in your faithfulness.
⁴ I do not sit with deceitful people,
nor will I go about with hypocrites.
⁵ I hate the crowd of evildoers,
and with the wicked I will not sit.
⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence,
and I will walk about your altar, O Yahweh,
⁷ to declare with a voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
⁸ O Yahweh, I love the dwelling of your house,^[d]
and the place where your glory abides.^[e]
