Psalm 26
Of David.
1Establish justice for me, LORD,
because I have walked with integrity.
I’ve trusted the LORD without wavering.
2Examine me, LORD; put me to the test!
Purify#26.2 LXX or investigate my mind#26.2 Or kidneys and my heart.
3Because your faithful love is right in front of me—
I walk in your truth!
4I don’t spend time with people up to no good;
I don’t keep company with liars.
5I detest the company of evildoers,
and I don’t sit with wicked people.
6I wash my hands—they are innocent!
I walk all around your altar, LORD,
7proclaiming out loud my thanks,
declaring all your wonderful deeds!
8I love the beauty#26.8 LXX; MT the dwelling of your house of your house, LORD;
I love the place where your glory resides.
9Don’t gather me#26.9 Or my soul up with the sinners,
taking my life along with violent people
10in whose hands are evil schemes,
whose strong hands are full of bribes.
11But me? I walk with integrity.
Save me! Have mercy on me!
12My feet now stand on level ground.
I will bless the LORD in the great congregation.

26
I Will Bless the Lord
Of David.
1 # See Ps. 7:8 Vindicate me, O Lord,
for I have #ver. 11 walked in my integrity,
and I have #See Ps. 11:1trusted in the Lord without wavering.
2 # See Ps. 7:9; 17:3; 139:23 Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
test my heart and #Ps. 7:9my mind.#26:2 Hebrew test my kidneys and my heart
3For your #[Ps. 25:10] steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I #2 Kgs. 20:3; [Ps. 86:11]walk in your #[Ps. 25:10] faithfulness.
4I do not #See Ps. 1:1 sit with men of #Job 11:11falsehood,
nor do I consort with hypocrites.
5I #Ps. 31:6; 139:21, 22hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.
6I #Ps. 73:13; [Ex. 30:19, 20; Deut. 21:6]wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O Lord,
7proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
and telling all your #See Ps. 9:1wondrous deeds.
8O Lord, I #[Ps. 27:4]love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
9 # [Ps. 28:3] Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
10in whose hands are evil devices,
and whose right hands are full of #Ex. 23:8; Deut. 16:19bribes.
11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12My foot stands on #See Ps. 27:11 level ground;
in #Ps. 22:25the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
