Psalms 26:4-12 ▼

4 I do not sit with men of vanity, and with dissemblers I will not go in.

5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and with the wicked I do not sit.

6 I wash my hands in innocence, and I go about Your altar, O YHWH,

7 to sound with a voice of thanksgiving, and to recount all Your wonders.

8 O YHWH, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place of the dwelling of Your glory.

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, and my life with men of blood,

10 in whose hands is a scheme, and whose right hand is filled with a bribe.

11 And I, in my integrity, walk; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies I will bless YHWH.
