"Lord, test my kidneys and heart"

.
Returning to Robert's PsalmChallenge, after summer break, here is Psalm 26.
.
1. Of David.

Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in personal integrity; I have trusted in the LORD; I shall not falter.
2. Probe me, O LORD, and try me, test my kidneys [i.e. conscience] and heart,
צרופה (צָרְפָה) כִלְיוֹתַי וְלִבִּי
3. for Your steadfast love is before my eyes; I walk in Your faithfulness.
4. I do not sit with worthless men, and will never mix with hypocrites;
5. I hate the assemblage of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked;

6. I wash my hands in innocence,
and circle Your altar, O LORD,
7. sounding the voice of thanksgiving, recounting all Your wonders.
8. O LORD, I love the abode of Your house, the dwelling-place of Your glory.

9. Do not sweep away my being with sinners,
my life with the bloodthirsty men,
10. who have schemes in their grip, their right-hand filled with bribes.

11. But I walk in personal integrity; redeem me, have mercy on me!
12. My foot stands on level ground. In assemblies I will bless the LORD.
