Psalms Chapter 26 (New International Version)

Of David.

¹ Vindicate me, Lord,
for I have led a blameless life;
I have trusted in the Lord
and have not faltered. ² Test me, Lord, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind; ³ for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love
and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.

⁴ I do not sit with the deceitful,
nor do I associate with hypocrites. ⁵ I abhor the assembly of evildoers
and refuse to sit with the wicked. ⁶ I wash my hands in innocence,
and go about your altar, Lord, ⁷ proclaiming aloud your praise
and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

⁸ Lord, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells. ⁹ Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
my life with those who are bloodthirsty, ¹⁰ in whose hands are wicked schemes,
whose right hands are full of bribes. ¹¹ I lead a blameless life;
deliver me and be merciful to me.

¹² My feet stand on level ground;
in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.
