your truth.

hypocrites.

26:5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the
wicked.

26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your
altar, Yahweh;
Psa

of all your wondrous works.
Psa
26:8 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where
your glory dwells.

bloodthirsty men;
Psa

bribes.

merciful to me.

fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be
confident.

I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see
Yahweh's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will
lift me up on a rock.

will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will
sing praises to Yahweh.
Psa
27:7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me,
and answer me.
Psa
27:8 When you said, "Seek my face," my heart said to you,
"I will seek your face, Yahweh."

anger. You have been my help. Don't abandon me, neither forsake me,
God of my salvation.
Psa
27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take
me up.
Psa
27:11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because
of my enemies.

false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out
cruelty.

Yahweh in the land of the living.

you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the
pit.

up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in
their hearts.
Psa
28:4 Give them according to their work, and according to the
wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of
their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
Psa
28:5 Because they don't regard the works of Yahweh, nor the
operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them
up.
Psa
28:6 Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my
petitions.

him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my
song I will thank him.

his anointed.

even Yahweh on many waters.

a young, wild ox.
