Psalms 26

^{Psalms 26:1} Vindicate me, O LORD! For I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

^{Psalms 26:2} Test me, O LORD, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

^{Psalms 26:3} For Your loving devotion is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

^{Psalms 26:4} I do not sit with deceitful men, nor keep company with hypocrites.

^{Psalms 26:5} I hate the mob of evildoers, and refuse to sit with the wicked.

^{Psalms 26:6} I wash my hands in innocence that I may go about Your altar, O LORD,

^{Psalms 26:7} to raise my voice in thanksgiving and declare all Your wonderful works.

^{Psalms 26:8} O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

^{Psalms 26:9} Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

^{Psalms 26:10} in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

^{Psalms 26:11} But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

^{Psalms 26:12} My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
