Psa26

Psalms – Chapter 26

¹Of David.

I

Judge me, LORD!

For I have walked in my integrity.

In the LORD I trust;

I do not falter.

²Examine me, Lord, and test me;

search my heart and mind.

³Your mercy is before my eyes;

I walk guided by your faithfulness.

II

⁴I do not sit with worthless men,

nor with hypocrites do I mingle.

⁵I hate an evil assembly;

with the wicked I do not sit.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence

so that I may process around your altar, Lord,

⁷To hear the sound of thanksgiving,

and recount all your wondrous deeds.

⁸Lord, I love the refuge of your house,

the site of the dwelling-place of your glory.

III

⁹Do not take me away with sinners,

nor my life with the men of blood,

¹⁰In whose hands there is a plot,

their right hands full of bribery.

¹¹But I walk in my integrity;

redeem me, be gracious to me!

¹²My foot stands on level ground;

in assemblies I will bless the LORD.
