Psalms26
Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David.
1 Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.2Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.4I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders.5I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked.6I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O LORD,7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. 8O LORD, I love the habitation of Your houseAnd the place where Your glory dwells.9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me.12My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the LORD.
