﻿Psalms [Praises].
Chapter 26.
Judge me, Adonai , for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Adonai without wavering. 
Examine me, Adonai , and prove me. Try my heart and my mind. 
For your cheshed ·loving-kindness· is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth. 
I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites. 
I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked. 
I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Adonai ; 
that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and tell of all your wondrous deeds. 
Adonai , I 'ahav ·affectionately love· the habitation of your house, the place where your kavod ·weighty glory· dwells. 
Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men; 
in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes. 
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me. 
My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Adonai .
