Psalm 26

The Message Bible MSG

1 Clear my name, God; I've kept an honest shop. I've thrown in my lot with you, God, and I'm not budging.

2 Examine me, God, from head to foot, order your battery of tests. Make sure I'm fit inside and out

3 So I never lose sight of your love, But keep in step with you, never missing a beat.

4 I don't hang out with tricksters, I don't pal around with thugs;

5 I hate that pack of gangsters, I don't deal with double-dealers.

6 I scrub my hands with purest soap, then join hands with the others in the great circle, dancing around your altar, God,

7 Singing God-songs at the top of my lungs, telling God-stories.

8 God, I love living with you; your house glows with your glory.

9 When it's time for spring cleaning, don't sweep me out with the quacks and crooks,

10 Men with bags of dirty tricks, women with purses stuffed with bribe-money.

11 You know I've been aboveboard with you; now be aboveboard with me.

12 I'm on the level with you, God; I bless you every chance I get.

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

2 Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

3 For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6 I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

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

10 In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

11 And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

12 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
