Zabur 26

By Dawud.

¹Judge me, Allah, for I have walked in my integrity.

I have trusted also in Allah without wavering.

²Examine me, Allah, and prove me.

Try my heart and my mind.

³For your loving kindness is before my eyes.

I have walked in your truth.

⁴I have not sat with deceitful men,

Neither will I go in with hypocrites.

⁵I hate the assembly of evil-doers,

And will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence,

So I will go about your altar, Allah;

⁷That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,

And tell of all your wondrous works.

⁸Allah, I love your dwelling place,

The place where your glory makes its home.

⁹Do not gather my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

¹⁰In whose hands is wickedness,

Their right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.

Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

¹²My foot stands in an even place.

In the congregations I will bless Allah.
