Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Young's Literal Translation
Psalms 26
1By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not. 2Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart. 3For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth. 4I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not. 5I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not. 6I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah. 7To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders. 8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour. 9Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life, 10In whose hand is a wicked device, And their right hand is full of bribes. 11And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me. 12My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
