Psalm
26 Friday Midday 1
Judge me, Yahweh! * I have
conducted myself with integrity.
I have trusted in Yahweh; * I
have not wavered.
Examine me, Yahweh, and try me, * testing my heart and my mind.
Your love is always in my sight; * I have been faithful to
you.
I have not sat with idol-worshipers, * nor entered the
home of the ignorant.
I have hated the company of evildoers, * and never sat
down with the wicked.
I have washed my hands in innocence, * to march
around your altar, Yahweh,
to proclaim aloud your praise * and tell all your
wonderful deeds.
Yahweh, I love to live in your house, * the home where
your glory dwells.
Don't sweep me away with sinners, * my life with men of idols:
In their left hand are idols; * their right hand is full of
bribes.
As for me, I move with integrity; * redeem me and show me your
mercy.
My foot has stood firm with
the upright; * in the assemblies I have knelt down to Yahweh.
