Tahalym (Psalm) — 26

A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption

1 Vindicate me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, For I have walked in integrity. I have also trusted in my 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH; I shall not slip.

2 Examine me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.

3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

5 I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.

6 I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH,

7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your Kabad dwells.

9 Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

10 In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

11 But as for me, I will walk in integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 My foot stands on a solid ground; I will publicly Yadah and barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH my 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH.
