Psalms 26
Chapter 26 of 150
1 Prayer of Innocence. Of David. Judge me, Lord! For I have walked in my integrity. In the Lord I trust; I do not falter.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me; search my heart and mind.
3 Your mercy is before my eyes; I walk guided by your faithfulness.
4 I do not sit with worthless men, nor with hypocrites do I mingle.
5 I hate an evil assembly; with the wicked I do not sit.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence so that I may process around your altar, Lord,
7 To hear the sound of thanksgiving, and recount all your wondrous deeds.
8 Lord, I love the refuge of your house, the site of the dwelling-place of your glory.
9 Do not take me away with sinners, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 In whose hands there is a plot, their right hands full of bribery.
11 But I walk in my integrity; redeem me, be gracious to me!
12 My foot stands on level ground; in assemblies I will bless the Lord.
