Psalm 26

Of David.

[1] Vindicate me, O LORD,

for I have walked in my integrity,

and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

[2] Prove me, O LORD, and try me;

test my heart and my mind.

[3] For your steadfast love is before my eyes,

and I walk in your faithfulness.

[4] I do not sit with men of falsehood,

nor do I consort with hypocrites.

[5] I hate the assembly of evildoers,

and I will not sit with the wicked.

[6] I wash my hands in innocence

and go around your altar, O LORD,

[7] proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,

and telling all your wondrous deeds.

[8] O LORD, I love the habitation of your house

and the place where your glory dwells.

[9] Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,

nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

[10] in whose hands are evil devices,

and whose right hands are full of bribes.

[11] But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;

redeem me, and be gracious to me.

[12] My foot stands on level ground;

in the great assembly I will bless the LORD. (ESV)
