TEHILLIM26eng_ojb

1(Of Dovid)1 Vindicate me, Hashem;for I have walked in mine tohm (guilelessness);I have trusted also in Hashem without wavering.2Examine me, Hashem, and prove me;try my heart and my mind.3For Thy chesed is before mine eyes;and I have walked in Thy emes.4I do not sit with metei-shav (men of vanity),neither will I go in with dissemblers.5I have hated the kehal mere'im (congregation of evil doers);and will not sit with the resha'im.6I will wash mine hands in nikkayon (innocency, cleanness, freedom from punishment);so will I encompass Thine Mizbe'ach, Hashem;7That I may publish with the voice of todah,and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
8Hashem, I have loved the ma'on of Thy Bais,and the Mishkan where Thine kavod dwelleth.9Take not away my nefesh with chatta'im (sinners),nor my Chai (life) with anshei damim;10In whose hands is zimmah (wicked plans),and their right hand is full of shochad (bribery).11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity;redeem me, v'chaneini (and be merciful and gracious unto me).12My regel standeth on level ground;in the great assemblies unto Hashem will I render brocha.
