26:1 Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart. 26:3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. 26:4 I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders. 26:5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked. 26:6 I shall wash my hands in innocence, And I will go about Your altar, O Lord, 26:7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving And declare all Your wonders. 26:8 O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house And the place where Your glory dwells. 26:9 Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, 26:10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. 26:11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. 26:12 My foot stands on a level place; In the congregations I shall bless the Lord.
