Psalms 26:1

Defend me [rule my life, judge me—decide what is right], Lord (Yahweh), for
I have walked in (lived my life with) integrity,
I have trusted in the Lord (Yahweh),
I do not stumble (lose my footing).
[The Hebrew word for "to stumble" is the unusual maad. It describes a narrow path along a ravine, and is used as such in Ps. 18:37. It functions either as an adverb (describing how David has trusted without wavering), or as an assurance not to deviate from God's path in the future, even if the path is narrow. In verse 2, three synonymous verbs appear again. The last one is often used about metals that are purified by heating, when impurities are removed.]
