Psalms - Chapter 26 - New International Version
- Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORD and have not faltered.
- Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
- for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.
- I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
- I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
- I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD,
- proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.
- LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
- Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,
- in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
- I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.
- My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
