Psalms 26
26
By David.
1 Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.
I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.
2Examine me, LORD, and prove me.
Try my heart and my mind.
3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I have walked in your truth.
4 I have not sat with deceitful men,
neither will I go in with hypocrites.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence,
so I will go about your altar, LORD,
7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard
and tell of all your wondrous deeds.
8 LORD, I love the habitation of your house,
the place where your glory dwells.
9Don’t gather my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men
10 in whose hands is wickedness;
their right hand is full of bribes.
11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
12 My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations I will bless the LORD.

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.
