- Chapter 26 -

Vindicate me, O Lord

1
A psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.
2
Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!
3
For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.
4
I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.
5
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.
6
I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,
7
to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.
8
Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!
9
Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,
10
in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.
12
My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!

Vindicate me, O Lord

1
Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
2
Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.
3
For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.
4
I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.
6
I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,
7
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8
LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.
9
Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men
10
in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
