Psalm 26

1 Of David.

Vindicate me, O LORD!

For I have walked with integrity;

I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

2 Test me, O LORD, and try me;

examine my heart and mind.

3 For Your loving devotion is before my eyes,

and I have walked in Your truth.

4 I do not sit with deceitful men,

nor keep company with hypocrites.

5 I hate the mob of evildoers,

and refuse to sit with the wicked.

6 I wash my hands in innocence

that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

7 to raise my voice in thanksgiving

and declare all Your wonderful works.

8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell,

the place where Your glory resides.

9 Do not take my soul away with sinners,

or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,

whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 But I will walk with integrity;

redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground;

in the congregations I will bless the LORD.

What next
