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]
9 Do not destroy me^[f] with the sinners,
nor my life with men of bloodshed,
¹⁰ in whose hands is an evil plan,
and whose right hand is full of bribes.^[g]
11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me and be gracious to me.
¹² My foot stands on level ground.
In assemblies I will bless Yahweh.
