Psalm 26
By David.
1Judge me favorably, O Lord,
because I have walked with integrity
and I have trusted you without wavering.
2Examine me, O Lord, and test me.
Look closely into my heart and mind.
3I see your mercy in front of me.
I walk in the light of your truth.
4I did not sit with liars,
and I will not be found among hypocrites.
5I have hated the mob of evildoers
and will not sit with wicked people.
6I will wash my hands in innocence.
I will walk around your altar, O Lord,
7so that I may loudly sing a hymn of thanksgiving
and tell about all your miracles.
8O Lord, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not sweep away my soul along with hardened sinners
or my life along with bloodthirsty people.
10Evil schemes are in their hands.
Their right hands are full of bribes.
11But I walk with integrity.
Rescue me, and have pity on me.
12My feet stand on level ground.
I will praise the Lord with the choirs in worship.

Psalms 26
26
The Prayer of a Good Person#Ps 26 Hebrew title: By David.
1Declare me innocent, O LORD,
because I do what is right
and trust you completely.
2Examine me and test me, LORD;
judge my desires and thoughts.
3Your constant love is my guide;
your faithfulness always leads me.#26.3 your faithfulness always leads me; or I live in loyalty to you.
4I do not keep company with worthless people;
I have nothing to do with hypocrites.
5I hate the company of the evil
and avoid the wicked.
6 LORD, I wash my hands to show that I am innocent
and march in worship round your altar.
7I sing a hymn of thanksgiving
and tell of all your wonderful deeds.
8I love the house where you live, O LORD,
the place where your glory dwells.
9Do not destroy me with the sinners;
spare me from the fate of murderers —
10those who do evil all the time
and are always ready to take bribes.
11As for me, I do what is right;
be merciful to me and save me!
12I am safe from all dangers;
in the assembly of his people I praise the LORD.
