Psalm 26

1 Judge me favorably, O Yahweh,
    because I have walked with integrity
        and I have trusted you without wavering.
2 Examine me, O Yahweh, and test me.
    Look closely into my heart and mind.
3 I see your mercy in front of me.
    I walk in the light of your truth.
4 I did not sit with liars,
    and I will not be found among hypocrites.
5 I have hated the mob of evildoers
    and will not sit with wicked people.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence.
    I will walk around your altar, O Yahweh,
        
            and tell about all your miracles.

8 O Yahweh, I love the house where you live,
    the place where your glory dwells.

9 Do not sweep away my soul along with hardened sinners
    or my life along with bloodthirsty people.
10 Evil schemes are in their hands.
    Their right hands are full of bribes.
11 But I walk with integrity.
    Rescue me, and have pity on me.
12 My feet stand on level ground.
    I will praise Yahweh with the choirs in worship.

PRAYER:

Psalm 16

1 Protect me, O El, because I take refuge in you.

2 I said to Yahweh,

    “You are my Adonay. Without you, I have nothing good.”

3 Those who lead holy lives on earth

    are the noble ones who fill me with joy.

4 Those who quickly chase after other gods multiply their sorrows.

    I will not pour out their sacrificial offerings of blood

        or use my lips to speak their names.

5 Yahweh is my inheritance and my cup.

    You are the one who determines my destiny.

6 Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me.

    Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful.

7 I will praise Yahweh, who advises me.

    My conscience warns me at night.

8 I always keep Yahweh in front of me.

    When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.

9         That is why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices.

            My body rests securely

10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave

    or allow your holy one to decay.

11 You make the path of life known to me.

    Complete joy is in your presence.

        Pleasures are by your side forever.
