Psalms 26
Psalm 26
Of David.
1 Vindicate me,(a) Lord,
for I have led a blameless life;(b)
I have trusted(c) in the Lord
and have not faltered.(d)
2 Test me,(e) Lord, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind;(f)
3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love(g)
and have lived(h) in reliance on your faithfulness.(i)
4 I do not sit(j) with the deceitful,
nor do I associate with hypocrites.(k)
5 I abhor(l) the assembly of evildoers
and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence,(m)
and go about your altar, Lord,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise(n)
and telling of all your wonderful deeds.(o)
8 Lord, I love(p) the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.(q)
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
my life with those who are bloodthirsty,(r)
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,(s)
whose right hands are full of bribes.(t)
11 I lead a blameless life;
deliver me(u) and be merciful to me.
12 My feet stand on level ground;(v)
in the great congregation(w) I will praise the Lord.
