Psalm 26 - Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

¹ TO David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I went in mine integrity, and in Jehovah I trusted: I shall not waver.

² Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me; refine my reins and my heart

³ For thy mercy is before mine eyes, and I walked about in thy truth.

⁴ I sat not with men of vanity, and I will not go in with those lying hid.

⁵ I hated the convocation of those being evil, and with the unjust I will not sit

⁶ I will wash my hands in cleanness, and I will surround thine altar, O Jehovah:

⁷ To hear with the voice of praise, and to recount all thy wonders.

⁸ O Jehovah, I loved the habitation of thy house, and the place of the dwelling of thine honor.

⁹ Thou wilt not gather my soul with the sinning, and my life with men of bloods:

¹⁰ Which in their hands mischief, and their right hand filled with sifts.

¹¹ And I, I will go in mine integrity: redeem me and pity me.

¹² My foot stood in straightness: in the convocations will I praise Jehovah.
