Psalms 26
26
A psalm of David.
1Declare me innocent, O Lord,
for I have acted with integrity;
I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.
Test my motives and my heart.
3For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
and I have lived according to your truth.
4I do not spend time with liars
or go along with hypocrites.
5I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,
and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
6I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
I come to your altar, O Lord,
7singing a song of thanksgiving
and telling of all your wonders.
8I love your sanctuary, Lord,
the place where your glorious presence dwells.
9Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
10Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,
and they constantly take bribes.
11But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
So redeem me and show me mercy.
12Now I stand on solid ground,
and I will publicly praise the Lord.

PSALM 26
Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.
A Psalm of David.
1 # Lit Judge 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 #Lit kidneys, figurative for inner manmind and my heart.
3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked in Your truth.
4I do not sit with #Or worthless men; lit men of falsehooddeceitful 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 house
And 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.
