Psalms 26

A Prayer for Divine Scrutiny and Redemption

¹Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip.

²Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.

³For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

⁴I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

⁵I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

⁷That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

⁸Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.

⁹Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

¹⁰In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

¹²My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
