Chapter 26
Psalms
Verse 1Vindicate me, O LORD,for I have walked in my integrity,and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.Verse 2Prove me, O LORD, and try me;test my heart and my mind.Verse 3For your steadfast love is before my eyes,and I walk in your faithfulness.Verse 4I do not sit with men of falsehood,nor do I consort with hypocrites.Verse 5I hate the assembly of evildoers,and I will not sit with the wicked.Verse 6I wash my hands in innocenceand go around your altar, O LORD,Verse 7proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,and telling all your wondrous deeds.Verse 8O LORD, I love the habitation of your houseand the place where your glory dwells.Verse 9Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,nor my life with bloodthirsty men,Verse 10in whose hands are evil devices,and whose right hands are full of bribes.Verse 11But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;redeem me, and be gracious to me.Verse 12My foot stands on level ground;in the great assembly I will bless the LORD.
