תְהִלִּים 26

1 לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ שָׁפְטֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־אֲ֭נִי בְּתֻמִּ֣י הָלַ֑כְתִּי וּבַיהוָ֥ה בָּ֝טַ֗חְתִּי לֹ֣א אֶמְעָֽד׃

[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.

2 בְּחָנֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה וְנַסֵּ֑נִי צְרֹופָה (צָרְפָ֖ה) כִלְיֹותַ֣י וְלִבִּֽי׃

Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:

3 כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָ֑י וְ֝הִתְהַלַּ֗כְתִּי בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃

For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.

4 לֹא־יָ֭שַׁבְתִּי עִם־מְתֵי־שָׁ֑וְא וְעִ֥ם נַ֝עֲלָמִ֗ים לֹ֣א אָבֹֽוא׃

I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

5 שָׂ֭נֵאתִי קְהַ֣ל מְרֵעִ֑ים וְעִם־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים לֹ֣א אֵשֵֽׁב׃

I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.

6 אֶרְחַ֣ץ בְּנִקָּיֹ֣ון כַּפָּ֑י וַאֲסֹבְבָ֖ה אֶת־מִזְבַּחֲךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃

I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,

7 לַ֭שְׁמִעַ בְּקֹ֣ול תֹּודָ֑ה וּ֝לְסַפֵּ֗ר כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.

8 יְֽהוָ֗ה אָ֭הַבְתִּי מְעֹ֣ון בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וּ֝מְקֹ֗ום מִשְׁכַּ֥ן כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9 אַל־תֶּאֱסֹ֣ף עִם־חַטָּאִ֣ים נַפְשִׁ֑י וְעִם־אַנְשֵׁ֖י דָמִ֣ים חַיָּֽי׃

Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;

10 אֲשֶׁר־בִּידֵיהֶ֥ם זִמָּ֑ה וִֽ֝ימִינָ֗ם מָ֣לְאָה שֹּֽׁחַד׃

In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.

11 וַ֭אֲנִי בְּתֻמִּ֥י אֵלֵ֗ךְ פְּדֵ֣נִי וְחָנֵּֽנִי׃

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

12 רַ֭גְלִי עָֽמְדָ֣ה בְמִישֹׁ֑ור בְּ֝מַקְהֵלִ֗ים אֲבָרֵ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה׃

My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
